Popis: 1. Level of virus contamination of plants correlates with the level of pollution of the same area. This fact does not depend on the kind of pollution (radionuclide or heavy metal). 2. Combined effect of viruses and heavy metals provides more serious plant disease development and growth inhibition than in case of every single factor’ influence (synergy). 3. Viruses can be used as an indicative model for evaluation of general changes in the environment.
