AB  - Moss transplants of Hypnum cupressiforme and Sphagnum girgensohnii were tested for efciency in detection of airborne
element pollution at a suburban background site during short time exposure of 15 days (twelve consecutive periods) and
during prolonged exposure from one to six months. Concomitantly, particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) was sampled during
three identifed Saharan dust episodes, while MERRA-2 data were used for estimation of dust concentration at ground level to
which the moss bags were exposed during 15-day periods. The concentrations of 22 potentially toxic elements were measured
in the moss and PM10 samples. The results showed that 15-day bag exposure at the background location could not provide
a measurable and reliable signature of the elements in the moss transplants, except for Al, V, As, Ga, Y, and Tb, unlike the
extended moss bag exposure of a couple of months. These were also the only elements whose concentrations were increased
multifold in PM10 samples during the most intense dust episode, which was also recorded by S. girgensohnii bags exposed
in the corresponding 15-day period. The ratio of crustal elements (Ca/Al, Mg/Al) in PM10 and moss samples (3-month
exposed) was in line of those reported for dust transported from western Africa. The V/Al, Ga/Al, and Tb/Al concentration
ratio values in PM10 and S. girgensohnii samples were higher for dust days contrary to the As/Al ratio, which could be used
to distinguish between dust and fossil fuel combustion pollution sources. The moss bag technique could be used as a simple
tool for tracking long-range transported elements, but after prolonged moss bag exposure (3 months).

AB  - This study was performed in four parking garages in downtown of Belgrade with the aim to provide multi-pollutant assessment. Concentrations of 16 US EPA priority PAHs and Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn were determined in PM10 samples. The carcinogenic health risk of employees' occupational exposure to heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb) and PAHs (B[a]A, Cry, B[b]F, B[k]F, B[a]P and DB[ah]A) was estimated. A possibility of using Sphagnum girgensohnii moss bags for monitoring of trace element air pollution in semi-enclosed spaces was evaluated as well. The results showed that concentrations of PM10, Cd, Ni and B[a]P exceeded the EU Directive target values. Concentration of Zn, Ba and Cu were two orders of magnitude higher than those measured at different urban sites in European cities. Cumulative cancer risk obtained for heavy metals and PAHs was 4.51 x 10(-5) and 3.75 x 10(-5) in M and PP, respectively; upper limit of the acceptable US EPA range is 10(-4). In the moss, higher post-exposure than pre-exposure (background) element concentrations was observed. In comparison with instrumental monitoring data, similar order of abundances of the most elements in PM10 and moss samples was found. However, using of the S. girgensohnii moss bag technique in indoor environments needs further justification. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
