“…Nickel is an element related to industrial activities and waste (BIRKE and RAUCH, 2000). The Cu and Ni levels found in Mendoza were similar to the results reported by Pignata et al 2002. These authors used epithytic Bromeliaceae (Tillandsia capillaris) as the biomonitor in Cordoba, located in the central region of Argentina, which is comparable to the economic and infrastructure development of Mendoza.…”

“…The periurban areas differed significantly in Zn concentration, which in Buenos Aires was threefold the Mendoza value, very likely because the deposition of Zn is strongly related to emissions from vehicle combustion for the use of lubricant oils (FIGUEIREDO et al, 2007;FUJIWARA et al, 2006), and to the use of fungicides (PIGNATA et al, 2002 …”

“…Atualmente, a espécie Tillandsia usneoides é a mais empregada em estudos de biomonitoramento atmosférico de centros metropolitanos 16 e regiões de garimpo, 15 seguida das espécies T. recurvata, 17,18 T. aeranthos, 18 T. caput-medusae morren 19 e Tillandsia capillaris. 20 Outro aspecto das bromeliáceas que pode ser assinalado é sua importância do ponto de vista econômico, pois suas folhas dão excelentes fibras. Algumas espécies de bromélias têm sido empregadas pelos americanos antigos como fontes de fibras desde antes da chegada de Colombo ao Novo Mundo.…”
