Moss Physcomitriumpyriforme and Octoblepharumalbidum samples were collected from some gardens and Monument areas and some Heavy Traffic areas. Samples were collected from soils and moist brick walls and analysed for determination of elements Zn, Mn and Fe. Samples collected from Garden and Monument areas treated as Control. Samples collected from Heavy Traffic areas showed higher level of elements in comparison to the samples collected from Garden and Monument sites. Higher content of Zinc, Manganese and Iron was found in the Heavy Traffic areas as compared to the Garden and monument areas. A parameter, catalase Activity has also been studied by using particular method to determine the effect of pollution on the metabolism of species.Keywords

Some residential area of Lucknow were surveyed and Moss Octoblepharum albidum Hedw samples were collected from some selected residential colonies. Samples were collected from soils and moist brick walls and analysed for determination of heavy metals Pb, Cu, Co, Cr and Ni. Samples collected from Garden and Monument areas were treated as Control. Samples collected from Residential areas showed higher level of heavy metals in comparison to the samples collected from Garden and Monument sites. Higher content of lead, Copper and Cobalt was found in the residential areas as compared to the Garden and monument areas. However variable results were obtained with regard to chlorophyll content and Zn, Mn and Fe content in moss samples collected from different locations of Lucknow.Keywords
