| Popis: | The concentrations of 13 elements in peripheral parts of the epiphytic lichen Xanthoria parietina were measured at 200 stations of Veneto (NE Italy). For each element, two maps are presented, showing, respectively, geographic patterns and deviations from background levels. The results are summarized by a map, showing the joint distribution of elements with concentrations close to Italian backgrounds, and of those strongly deviating from background levels. The results allow selection of high-risk areas for instrumental monitoring. |
