What the lichens are ?
|
Lichens are organisms included into the fangus family (Fungi) consisting of a fungus and alga component part connected together by inseparable symbiosis.

Investigative Project
Use of bioindycators to define level of pollution of natural
environment in the area of Cieszyn.
Aims of the research:
*Defining lichens presence on the chosen territory
*Defining lichens presence with taking into account emission
*Evaluating the level of SO2
*Analyzing similarities between lichens present on diffrent
territories
*Attempt to estimate the level of SO2 in different parts of the
city
*Interpretation of the results achieved

Factors which affect quality of air in
Cieszyn:
*Local pollution emission
*Transportation of wastes from the Factories
nearby. (Brama Morawska!)
*Weather conditions
*Landscape

Directions of air advection
In the year :
19% days in the year-flow of air from the west
10% days in the year-flow of air from the north-west
<10% days in the year-flow of air from the south
ok.9% days in the year-flow of air from the east
<6% days in the year-flow of air from the north-east
25% days in the year ? situations of changed flow of advection or lack of advection.

Mid-year level of SO2
from 1997 to 2004

|
Acceptable annual value
* (according to decree of Environmental Minister from 6.06.2002 in the
case of acceptable level of diffrent substances)
|
SO2: 20 ug/m3 *
An average annual value in Cieszyn in 2004: 16 ug/m3
NO2: 40 ug/m3 *
An average annual value in Cieszyn in 2004: 15 ug/m3

Lichen scale
 
|
---
|
---
|
---
|
---
|
Zone 1 - Desert, no lichens present - air in that area is highly polluted.
Zone 2 - Almost deserted area - air in that area is badly polluted.
|
---
|
---
|
---
|
Conclusions
* The level of pollution depends on the weather conditions, on the local
flow of air and landscape.
|
* The change of the level of pollutnion between seasons is extremaly
visible.
|
* Steps taken to protect natural environment should be directed on
limiting negative effects of civilization development.
|

|
* From the observation which were made, it is visible that there are
many areas in the city, that could be called desert. The trees are
covered by algae in a varied degree. On the teritory of Cieszyn we can
find lichens that look like shells, in grey, beige and green colour. By
making use of the lichens scale we can estimate wether we live in
algae zone or any other. The air pollution caused by SO2 is quite high.
