Performance of Lichen Species as Air Pollution Biomonitors in the Greater Auckland Urban Area, New Zealand
Air pollution monitoring devices are often expensive and require high technical skills to operate. Lichens as biomonitors are an effective complementary because they accumulate pollutants in line with atmospheric concentrations. This research assesses the performance of lichens as air pollution …

Development and testing of a methodology for attributing sources of airborne pollutants to their receptors
Identification of airborne pollutant sources and estimation of source contributions to air quality ‘hot spots’ are very important in ambient air quality management. Social, economical, political and legal constraints on air quality management demand a convenient and accurate method for attributing …
