Long-term National Monitoring System of Bioaccumulation

of Airborne Heavy Metals

(BIOMONRO)

 

 

Project objectives

 

 

Objective 1. Preparing protocols for the use of species in biomonitoring programs

Activity 1.1 (A.1.1) – Identification of the species from Romania that could potentially be used as bioindicators

Activity 1.2 (A.1.2) – Identification of the species from Romania that could potentially be used as biomonitors

Activity 1.3 (A.1.3) – Assessment of the species from Romania selected as potential bioindicators

Activity 1.4 (A.1.4) – Assessment of the species from Romania selected as potential biomonitors

Activity 1.5 (A.1.5) – Preparing protocols for the use of the selected species in biomonitoring programs

                                                                                          

Objective 2. Establishing the national system of active and passive biomonitoring of heavy metals

Activity 2.1 (A.2.1) – Setting out the target areas for passive and active biomonitoring of heavy metals at the national level

Activity 2.2 (A.2.2) – Using bryophytes in biomonitoring

Activity 2.3 (A.2.3) – Using lichens in biomonitoring

Activity 2.4 (A.2.4) – Using vascular plants in biomonitoring

Activity 2.5 (A.2.5) – Using other groups of organisms in biomonitoring

Activity 2.6 (A.2.6) – Active biomonitoring - case study: bioaccumulation of lead, cadmium, nickel, arsenic and mercury

Activity 2.7 (A.2.7) – Passive biomonitoring - case study: bioaccumulation of lead, cadmium, nickel, arsenic and mercury

Activity 2.8 (A.2.8) – Active biomonitoring - case study: bioaccumulation of heavy metals, others than those stipulated in Law no. 104/2011, with negative effects on the environment and / or human health

Activity 2.9 (A.2.9) – Passive biomonitoring - case study: bioaccumulation of heavy metals, others than those stipulated in Law no. 104/2011, with negative effects on the environment and / or human health

Activity 2.10 (A.2.10) – Active biomonitoring - case study: bioaccumulation of heavy metals of economic importance

Activity 2.11 (A.2.11) – Passive biomonitoring - case study: bioaccumulation of heavy metals of economic importance

Activity 2.12 (A.2.12) – Developing the national plan for active and passive monitoring of bioaccumulation of airborne heavy metals

 

Objective 3. Identifying methods and techniques to reduce the concentration of airborne heavy metals

Activity 3.1 (A.3.1) – The use of forest belts and alignments as means to mitigate the effects of heavy metals presence in the atmosphere

Activity 3.2 (A.3.2) – Methods and techniques to reduce the presence of airborne heavy metals caused by mine dumps

Activity 3.3 (A.3.3) – Using lichens and cormophytes in the extraction of heavy metals and reducing their concentration in the soil and in the atmosphere

Activity 3.4 (A.3.4) – Phytomining. Case Study: Extraction of some metals of economic importance

Activity 3.5 (A.3.5) – Developing the national plan for the use of vascular plants and lichens in the extraction of heavy metals and reducing their concentration in the soil and in the atmosphere

 

Objective 4. Establishing the national system for collecting, integrating and processing data on heavy metal biomonitoring data

Activity 4.1 (A.4.1) – Providing technical support for setting up the national system for collecting, integrating and processing data on heavy metal biomonitoring data

Activity 4.2 (A.4.2) – Completion of databases

Activity 4.3 (A.4.3) – Preparing protocols for collecting data on heavy metal biomonitoring

Activity 4.4 (A.4.4) – Preparing protocols for integrating data on heavy metal biomonitoring

Activity 4.5 (A.4.5) – Preparing protocols for processing data on heavy metal biomonitoring

 

 

Objective 5. Developing the national warning system in case of long term environmental impact

Activity 5.1 (A.5.1) – Setting warning levels for the bioaccumulation of lead, cadmium, nickel, arsenic and mercury

Activity 5.2 (A.5.2) – Setting warning levels for the bioaccumulation of other heavy metals,  with negative effects on the environment and / or on human health

Activity 5.3 – Preparing warning protocols in case of long-term environmental impact

Activity 5.4 – Testing the system
