Description

The origin of iron complexes detected several years ago in the green stain on the bark of plane trees was not clear up to now. Using Moessbauer spectroscopy, we were able to show that these iron complexes result from air pollution deposits. Since all iron compounds detected in air pollution so far are also present in green stain on the bark of plane trees in high concentrations, it seems to be a very effective indicator of air pollution.
