Determination of heavy metals and Polycyclic Aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) contents using the lichen dirinaria picta in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

A biomonitoring study on lichens was conducted to assess the levels of atmospheric heavy metal and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) at ten sites at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Campus, Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. Dirinaria picta, epiphytic lichen which commonly found at lowland areas was u...
