This article sets out the results of air quality biomonitoring along a transect bordering on the A32 Turin-Bardonecchia motorway (Italy). The results were obtained using aeroponic sampling units, an innovation insofar as the plants acting as monitor live and grow in these units above ground, assuring that atmospheric pollutants are absorbed only through the leaves. The accumulation of 15 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the leaves of Brassica oleracea var. Acephala, used as biosampler, was determined on samples taken in the months of February, July and October 2002, in each case after two months' exposure. The results highlight: (i) the influence of the seasons on the accumulation of pollutants, (ii) that phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene and chrysene generally account for more than 80% of total PAHs, (iii) that the data may be considered representative of both volatile and non-volatile compounds. Comparison with other sampling methods are supplied and discussed. |
