| Original Abstract: |
Our study particularly focused on PCBs and PBDEs which belong to a group of pollutants that spread easily into the environment by means of remote transport. The levels of PCBs and PBDEs in plant bioindicators (needles of coniferous plants, moss) were determined using gas chromatography combined with an electron capture detector. The main aim of this study was to find out whether the selected bioindicators are suitable to assess the level of environmental contamination with PCBs and PBDEs. |

Tato studie je zaměřena na PCB a PBDE, které patří do skupiny látek šířících se snadno v životním prostředí prostřednictvím dálkového transportu. Hladiny PCB a PBDE v rostlinných bioindikátorech (jehly z jehličnanů, mech) byly stanoveny pomocí plynové chromatografie v kombinaci s detektorem elektronového záchytu. Hlavním cílem této studie bylo zjistit, zda vybrané bioindikátory jsou vhodné k posouzení úrovně kontaminace životního prostředí s PCB a PBDE. |
