| Popis: | The number of pollution sources raises heavy metal contamination of the environment and become increasingly higher in Kumaon hill. This problem particularly manifests itself around the petrol pump. The objective of our investigation was to measure the pollution load of Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd in near by area of Kumaon hill. Keeping this in mind present investigation was undertaken to study the adverse effect of intensity of these metal load on the ecology and human population in near by area of respective study site. Moss sample were collected from pure and undisturbed habitat in Mukteswar and were transplanted on four petrol pumps and one control site Analysis of harvested transplants shows a significant seasonal increase in the metal in moss, which could be due to automobile exhaust and petroleum product consumption. |
