Bioindicators are useful in monitoring air pollution. This study assessed the efficacy of various tree leaf morphological, physiological and biochemical biomarkers in reflecting different intensities of air pollution. Leaves from Brachylaena discolor trees growing 0, 2.5, 6 and 11 km from an industrial hub (pollution source) in eThekwini, South Africa, were analysed for leaf area, chlorophyll (Chl...
Antioxidant enzyme activities of fish (Cyprinus carpio L.) were determined in order to detect the effects of pollution of the Sitnica River in Kosovo on fish physiology and biochemistry. Activities of three antioxidant defense enzymes as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the blood of fish were chosen as bioindicators. Fish (n=21) were sampled during...
