| The Air Quality Programme – 01.03.2011-1.03.2012
Considering the results gathered by the AQ programme participants in the mentioned-above period, similarly like in previous years remarkably better quality of air is observed in Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia than in Poland. In first three listed countries even in industrial areas bark-inhabiting lichens are present, including considered to be very sensitive to sulphur oxides fruticose thallus lichenes. On leaves of maple species tree black spot fungus (Rhytisma acerinum) i.e. a saprophytic fungal bioindicator of air condition can also be found. In Poland air is often more polluted, but comparison the latest results with those obtained some years ago illustrates that air quality in our country has been improved that corresponds with information obtained by technical measurements (http://www.stat.gov.pl/gus). It is the most visible in the most industrialized and urbanized region of the country – e.g. Upper Silesia (Katowice) conurbation. Not only crustose and foliose epiphitic lichenes are observed in relatively numerous stations but also bark-inhabiting mosses are noted. For the first time from decades black spot fungus has been observed on maple trees growing in central districts of large industrial cities like Katowice, Zabrze and Gliwice. This results of observation confirm that biomonitoring can show changes in the environment and so it is worth doing!
