Resumen

Se ha realizado el análisis sobre la concentración de cinco metales pesados (Fe, Cr, Zn, Pb y Cu) en talos de Xanthoria parietina, líquen folioso común que crece en distintos bosques del noreste de Marruecos (Kenitra, Sidi Boughaba, Mkhinza, ciudad Ceinture Verte cerca de Temara, Skhirat, Bouznika y Mohammedia). La cuantificación se llevó a cabo por plasma de acoplamiento inductivo � espectrometría de emisión atómica (ICP�AES). Los resultados fueron altamente significativos p <0.001. La concentración de metales se correlaciona con la actividad motora y la cercanía de núcleos urbanos. La concentración total de metal es más alta en la zona de Kenitra, seguido de Ceinture Verte sitio cerca de la ciudad de Temara, que experimenta el tráfico pesado durante todo el año. La microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM) de material particulado sobre líquenes de Xanthoria parietina se evaluó como una técnica cualitativa omplementaria al análisis químico para estimar la cantidad de contaminantes en el aire. El análisis reveló alto nivel de Cu, Cr, Zn y Pb en muestras cerca de las carreteras.
