The ability of transplanted lichen Evernia (E.) prunastri (L.) to act as a high spatial biomonitoring tool for 14 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) was evaluated at 23 monitoring sites in a very polluted area in central Italy. The selected area is characterized by the presence of numerous emission sources, such as waste-to-energy plant, steel plant, vehicular traffic, and domestic heating. Transplanted E. prunastri proved to be a useful tool to biomonitor PBDEs, due to its ability to bioaccumulate individual congeners in varying concentrations in relation to the strength of the emission sources present over the territory. PBDEs levels widely ranged from 132 to 24,237 ng kg⁻¹ dry weight, according to the sources of emission located around the monitoring sites. The highest concentrations were detected at the sites close to the municipal solid waste incinerator, steel plant, and high busy roads, confirming their important role as PBDEs emissions sources.

在意大利中部一个污染严重的地区的23个监测点评估了移植的地衣Evernia（E.）prunastri（L.）作为14种多溴联苯醚（PBDEs）的高空间生物监测工具的能力。所选区域的特点是存在大量排放源，例如废物转化为能源的工厂，钢铁厂，车辆通行和家庭供暖。移植E. prunastri证明是生物监测多溴二苯醚一个有用的工具，因为它相对于生物累积个别同源不同浓度存在在领土上发射源的能力的强弱。PBDEs的水平范围从132到24,237 ng kg ^-1干重，根据监测点周围的排放源确定。在靠近城市固体废物焚化炉，钢铁厂和繁忙的道路的地点检测到最高浓度，证实了它们作为多溴二苯醚排放源的重要作用。
