a methodology of ecological risk assessment for the terrestrial ecosystem under chronicradioactive pollution of a biotope near a regional radioactive waste storage has been developed in terms of thecritical environmental loads analyzed. it consists of five stages: determination of effect indicators and assessmentof their values; establishment of reference species and indices; assessment and ana...

Since the 19th century, with industrial and urban development and the consequent increase in emissions from industrial activities and vehicular emissions have been observed air pollution effects on living organisms. Thus, since the beginning of the twentieth century, have been carried out several studies that include studies of the effect of pollution on plants (Chies,1983). Some features obser...
