Extract

The localization of inorganic contaminants in lichens is an important step toward a better understanding of the accumulating capability and toxitolerance of species (Hauck et al. 2002). Different methods, such as sequential elution technique (Brown 1995; Tretiach et al. 1999), X-ray microanalysis (Hauck et al. 2002) and microscopic histochemistry (Garty & Theiss 1989), have been used.
