INTRODUCTION
Mosses are very sensitive bioindicators of heavy
metal pollution in environment [6]. Many
authors have been using the moss plants for long
term environmental monitoring in many
countries such as Poland [6], Scandinavia
[10,12] and Cumbria [5].
Due to some special characters bryophytes can
be taken for pollution monitoring studies. They
have habitat diversity, structural simplicity and
rapid rate of multiplication, They are also very
sensitive to air pollution, therefore their utility
have been proved to use them as bioindicators
for air pollution. The aim of this study is to
present the levels of heavy metals in Heavy
Traffic areas in Indore city.
