| Abstract | The purpose of the present study was to examine the response, as indicated by the production of stress-ethylene, of the lichen Usnea hirta, to a buffered acidic solution and to a solution containing bisulfite ion, both at pH 4.0. In addition, the study investigated the accumulation capacity of U. hirta transplanted either to the vicinity of two streets with slow traffic, or to the vicinity of a highway in the city of Oulu, N. Finland for a short period (45 d), and to analyze the comparative production of stress-ethylene and the amounts of airborne elements accumulated in the thallus. Thalli of U. hirta manifested a high accumulation capacity for K, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Mn in samples exposed in one of the two streets with slow traffic in Oulu, in comparison with thalli left at the control site in the forest outside of the city. Two of the observed elements, Pb and Ca, exhibited a positive correlation with the concentration of ethylene detected consecutive to the treatment of lichen thalli with H2O (pH 6.8). The concentrations of stress-ethylene in lichen thalli retrieved from the streets with slow traffic and less cars (14,000 per day), soaked in solutions of NaHSO3 (pH 4.0), were higher than those produced by thalli retrieved from a site near the highway (with 25,000 cars per day) and by thalli left in the forest. It is suggested that the streets with slow traffic and less cars are more polluted than the highway as a result of bad ventilation conditions and a slow rate of dispersion of airborne pollutants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
