Mosses accumulate pollutants from the atmosphere and can serve as an inexpensive screening tool for mapping air quality and guiding the placement of monitoring instruments. We measured 22 elements using 346 moss samples collected across Portland, Oregon, in December 2013. Our objectives were to develop citywide maps showing concentrations of each element in moss and identify potential air pollution “hotspots.” We used simple dot maps, histograms, and summary statistics to describe the distribution of each element. Fifteen metals had highly right-skewed distributions, indicating high metal concentrations (relative to concentrations mea-sured in our dataset) in moss at one or more locations. These metals included high-priority toxics such as cadmium, nickel, lead, and arsenic. Past research shows that element concentrations in moss reflect atmospheric concentrations, although the strength of these relationships varies by element and is unknown for the elements we sampled. Therefore, atmospheric concentrations would need to be measured by an air quality monitor in order to determine whether hotspots suggested by the moss indicator are problematic or pose a health risk. We provide the raw data for all elements we measured to enable scientists, regulators, and citizens to further investigate the importance and possible sources of moss-identified hotspots.

Elemental Atmospheric Pollution Assessment Via Moss-Based Measurements in Portland, Oregon

IntroductionMany studies have used mosses and lichens to study atmospheric heavy-metal pol-lution (e.g., Berg and Steinnes 1997a, Gerdol et al. 2014, Nickel et al. 2014, Owcza-rek et al. 2001, Rühling and Tyler 1968). Mosses and lichens are commonly used as bioindicators of air quality because they readily accumulate pollutants over time. Unlike plants, they lack roots and absorb nutrients from the atmosphere. Mosses and lichens also lack the impermeable waxy coating of plant leaves so they absorb water over their entire surface like a sponge. Their high cation exchange capacity, a term that quantifies their ability to hold exchangeable, positively charged ions, helps cells capture dissolved nutrients during rain events (Bates 1994) and passively trap pollutants including heavy metals. Particulate pollutants also become trapped on the outer surfaces of the mosses and lichens (Aboal et al. 2011).

Traditional air quality monitoring relies on specialized instruments. However owing to high purchasing costs and the expense of operation and data analysis, only a small number of instruments is usually available. For instance, Portland, Oregon, has one permanent air toxics monitor, and it costs $40,000 annually to measure met-als.1 One instrument is not sufficient to resolve the varying nature of pollutant con-centrations on spatial scales smaller than the size of a metropolitan area, such as at the neighborhood level or smaller. Measuring pollutant levels in bioindicators is less costly than using instruments (each moss sample costs about $150 for labor and lab analysis), thereby making it possible to collect the large number of samples needed to detect and quantify pollutants that disperse short distances from their source.

In this study, we analyzed 346 moss samples collected within a short timeframe (Dec. 2-23, 2013) across Portland, Oregon, enabling a spatially detailed, yet eco-nomical, preliminary assessment of atmospheric pollution. One study has been published using these data, linking cadmium (Cd) concentrations in moss to stained glass manufacturers (Donovan et al. 2016). The purpose of this report is to present the raw data for all 22 elements we measured in moss, making it possible for others to model pollutant distributions and investigate possible emissions sources. Data are published here as dot maps showing the spatial distribution of the sample. All data are provided in tabular format (see app., table 6) and may be downloaded from the Web (http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/research/moss/).

Please note that the moss sample data for each element serve only as an index, meaning that high concentrations in moss are suggestive (but not conclusive) of high concentrations in the atmosphere. Although past research suggests moss

Mosses and lichens are commonly used as bioindicators of air quality because they readily accumulate pollutants over time.

One air toxics monitoring instrument is not sufficient to resolve the varying nature of pollutant concentrations on spatial scales smaller than the size of a metropolitan area, such as at the neighborhood level or smaller. Measuring pollutant levels in bioindicators is less costly than using instruments (each moss sample costs about $150 for labor and lab analysis).

concentrations reflect atmospheric concentrations for many elements, the strength of these relationships is unknown and varies by element (Aboal et al. 2010). The time period represented by metals in moss is also unknown. Thus, for a particular element, a moss sample with a relatively high value or a “hotspot” shown on a map should not be interpreted by itself as a health hazard. Conversely, samples with low values do not necessarily indicate “healthy” neighborhoods. To infer about risks to human or environmental health, more research is needed to deter-mine the exact relationship between moss concentrations and air concentrations as measured by the air quality instruments. The association between high levels of Cd and two stained-glass manufacturers described in Donovan et al. (2016) was supported by further research, including an exhaustive investigation of other pos-sible sources of Cd in the area, additional moss sampling and, most importantly, air quality monitoring instruments placed on site. Limitations and guidelines for interpreting the moss data presented in this report are discussed further on p. 36.

MethodsWe placed a 1-km2 grid across Portland, Oregon, including a 1-km buffer beyond the city limits. Major industrial and forested areas were excluded. We selected a residential address randomly within each grid cell and collected moss from the nearest hardwood tree or shrub (n = 278 “base points”). To capture variability in metal concentrations across short distances, we randomly selected 72 base points where we collected an additional sample nearby. At 12 of those 72 sites, the second sample was from the same tree. For the remaining 60, moss was sampled within 10 to 100 m of the randomly selected base points (6 at each 10-m increment). We could not find the moss at four sites, making for a total of 346 moss samples. As the potential for weather conditions to affect metal concentrations in the moss was unknown, we collected all samples within a short period (Dec. 2-23, 2013) in six traverses across the city. Most samples were taken from street trees, but occasion-ally we collected from trees in parks, wayside areas, or on private property with the permission of the landowner.

All samples were georeferenced using a recreational grade global positioning system (GPS) device and registered in geographic (latitude/longitude) projection. The detailed definition of the projection is shown in the appendix (app., fig. 6). Spatial overlays of the sample locations with precisely registered high-resolution airborne imagery indicated that the precision of the GPS recordings was about 6.5 m. Sample points were subsequently projected to a Cartesian system (Lambert Confor-mal Conic), which maintains a constant linear unit omnidirectionally. The detailed definition of the projection is shown in the appendix (app., fig. 7).

Research has found that metal concentrations in moss are correlated with atmospheric metal concentrations, but the strength of these relationships is uncertain and varies by element.

A moss sample with a relatively high value for a particular element or a “hotspot” shown on a map should not be interpreted by itself as a health hazard. Conversely, samples with low values do not necessarily indicate “healthy” neighborhoods.

The species sampled was Orthotrichum lyellii Hook. & Taylor (fig. 1), a widespread moss that grows on hardwood trees in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California (Lawton 1971). This species is the most common epiphytic moss on street trees in Portland, often forming large patches on trunks and branches. Wearing powder-free nitrile gloves, we collected about 5 g (dry weight) of moss from multiple patches on each sampled tree. All moss was col-lected from at least 1 m off the ground to avoid road spray and pet-related con-taminants. Samples were stored at 4 °C in metallized polyester Kapak2 bags sealed with duct tape.

Samples were prepared for elemental analysis in a lab using petri dishes, forceps, and scissors sterilized with 70 percent ethanol. Wearing clean powder-free nitrile gloves, we separated the upper two-thirds of moss stems, discarding the base of the moss (fig. 2). Bark, necrotic tissue, insects, and debris were care-fully removed from the sample using forceps. Moss samples weighing at least 1.5 g (dry weight) were sent to the Forestry Sciences Laboratory in Logan, Utah, for elemental analysis.

Laboratory AnalysisSamples were dried for 24 hours at 40 °C and ground to a fine powder. The HNO3 + H2O2 digestion method was used to prepare the dried and ground samples for analysis. Briefly, 4 mL of concentrated reagent-grade HNO3 were added to 0.5-g subsamples in 50-mL graduated plastic digestion tubes. After being covered with plastic watch glasses, the tubes were allowed to sit overnight in a fume hood to ensure initial HNO3-imposed oxidation of the samples at ambient temperature. The samples were digested at 95 °C for 90 minutes in a graphite block digestor. The samples were allowed to cool, and 4 mL of reagent-grade 30 percent H2O2 was added to each tube, followed by a 30-minute digestion at 95 °C. After cooling, a second 4-mL aliquot of H2O2 was added to each sample, followed by a 45-minute digestion at 95 °C. If the sample was not clear or pale yellow, a third H2O2 diges-tion was done for 45 minutes. After cooling, deionized water was added to each tube to the 25-mL mark. The samples were filtered through 0.45-um membrane filters to remove undigested particulates, primarily silicate minerals not dissolved in HNO3 + H2O2, and stored in 22-mL plastic scintillation vials until analysis.

Digests were analyzed for 22 elements (phosphorus–P, potassium–K, mag-nesium–Mg, calcium–Ca, sulfur–S, molybdenum-Mo, manganese–Mn, iron–Fe,

Table 1 shows element full names and abbreviations. Quality control/quality assur-ance measures consisted of independent check standards to monitor ICP calibra-tion performance, reagent and method blanks, repeat analysis of a bulk sample of Orthotrichum collected in the Portland area in 2013 (table 2), and assessment of overall method accuracy by analyzing the International Atomic Energy Agency value (IAEA-336) epiphytic lichen species, Evernia prunastri L. Ach. reference standard collected in Portugal (International Atomic Energy Agency 1999) (table 3).

Reported concentrations are in mg/kg except for Ca, Mg, K, P, and S, which are in percentage (%) of sample dry weight.

Correlations Between Metal DistributionsWe computed sample descriptive statistics, including the mean, median, minimum, and maximum concentrations of all the elements. We assessed associations between elements by computing their correlations. Many of the elements measured belong to the same functional group or class (table 1). For example, P and K are essential macronutrients for plants. We would thus expect them to exhibit some level of cor-relation. Note that even in environments virtually free from anthropogenic effects, the distribution of a given element can vary substantially because elements may be released at different levels by natural sources. We also calculated the Fisher-Pearson skewness coefficient for each element (Shepard 1968) to identify elements with exceptionally high (i.e., high relative to the rest of the concentration data for that element) (table 4) concentrations. Elements with exceptionally high values have higher skewness coefficients than elements without.

MappingDot maps, one per element, were generated, and sampling locations were color coded by concentrations measured in the moss. A green-yellow-brown color ramp was used to indicate low–to–high relative concentrations. Histograms of element concentrations were color coded using the same scheme. Where sampling locations were in close proximity, the one reporting the highest concentration was shown in the foreground. The maps include freeways and major road arterials for reference purposes. A color-blind-friendly version of the maps is available at http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/pubs/pnw_gtr938_maps.pdf

For elements with highly skewed distributions exhibiting a few extremely high concentrations, the color scheme was restricted to an upper, element-specific, threshold. These thresholds were imposed arbitrarily by examining the form of the

histograms for Pb, Ni, Cu, Cd, Mo, Cr, Fe, Co, Al, and As. High outlying values are shown in black on the histogram and as black squares on the map instead of filled circles. The element concentration is reported next to each square on the map. This alternative color scheme was devised to ensure that the variability in sample values remains evident even in the presence of a few high values. Subsequently, we created a ranked list of locations based on the number of elements measured at that site with concentrations in the top eight highest values. Sample locations with high concentrations for several elements is one way to prioritize hotspots for further air quality investigations.

To protect the privacy of individual landowners, the coordinates of samples located on private property were shifted manually to the closest trees in public areas using as reference orthorectified, high-resolution aerial imagery taken at the

same time the moss data were collected. Of the 346 sample points, 121 were shifted. The mean planar shifting distance was 5.00 m, more than two orders of magnitude smaller than mean minimum distance between sample locations. It is unlikely that such a small shift will affect any spatial analysis conducted by users of the moss data. Appendix table 6 and dot maps show the shifted coordinates.

Results and DiscussionFor each element, sample descriptive statistics and number of samples with concen-tration values below the detection limit are shown in table 4. Correlations between element concentrations measured in moss are shown in table 5. Correlations higher than 0.50 are shaded in gray; shading becomes progressively darker as the strength of the correlation increases.

Element AssociationsIdentification of pollution emissions sources can be aided by examining associa-tions between elements. Strong positive correlations between elements suggest they are often co-emitted or share a common origin. Here we provide the table of cor-relations (table 5) and a basic summary mainly for reference. Further analysis using multivariate techniques, such as Principal Components Analysis, is recommended to help resolve the relative contribution of different types of emissions sources (e.g., natural vs. vehicular vs. industrial) to element concentrations measured in moss (e.g., Berg and Steinnes 1997b, Schaug et al. 1990). The correlation between P and K is substantial (0.62), suggesting P and K are often high in the same locations. This is unsurprising considering that both elements are naturally abundant plant macronutrients that are also widely used in plant and grass fertilizers. Otherwise, highly correlated elements spanned multiple classes. Sulfur, a plant-essential secondary nutrient, and a product of combustion of sulfur-containing fuels, exhibits correlations higher than 0.50 with seven elements (Mo, Fe, Zn, B, Al, Cr, and Co), none of which belong to its class (table 1). This closely correlated group of elements and S are commonly, but not exclusively, emitted by various industrial processes. For instance, Al and Fe levels in moss are often associated with wind-blown soil particulates (Steinnes 1995), and Mo and Zn may occur from vehicular sources (e.g., exhaust, tire and brake wear) (Zechmeister et al. 2005). Sulfur may also be released by natural sources, the most likely in Portland being biomass burning and decomposition of organic matter (Bates and Lamb 1992). Seven other elements commonly emitted from industrial sources were not associated strongly with any (As, Cu, Mn, and Pb) or at most two other elements (Cd, Ni, Sr) (table 5).

Identification of pollution emissions sources can be aided by examining associations between elements. Strong positive correlations between elements suggest they are often co-emitted or share a common origin.

Elemental Atmospheric Pollution Assessment Via Moss-Based Measurements in Portland, Oregon

High Concentrations and “Hotspots”Dot maps of element concentrations in moss and corresponding histograms are shown in figure 3. As might be expected, the dot maps show unique spatial distribu-tions for the seven elements that lacked strong associations with other elements. Most exhibit one or a few hotspots (figs. 3i, 3j, 3t, and 3u) whereas possible As and Sr hotspots were numerous and widespread (figs. 3n and 3v).

Skewness coefficients (table 4) varied by element. All highly skewed histograms (fig. 3) showed a tail towards the right, indicating the presence of one or more exceptionally high concentrations in our dataset. In studies of small-scale industrial emissions, elements with highly right-skewed distributions typically indicate the presence of pollution point sources (Fernandez et al. 2007, Varela et al. 2014). The most skewed elements included all elements in the plant-essential micronutrients and environmentally important trace elements classes (Zn, B, As, Mn, Co, Fe, Cr, Mo, Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb). All of these elements may be emitted from certain industrial activities and can be hazardous if present in high concentrations in the atmosphere. Also substantially skewed were the distributions of Sr, Al, and Ba, soil mineral ele-ments that may also be emitted by industry. The elements Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb had the highest coefficients owing to a few very high concentrations measured in the moss samples. Three of the four (Cd, Ni, and Pb) are heavy metals on the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of urban toxics posing the greatest health risk in urban areas.3

On the other hand, elements belonging to the plant-essential macro- and sec-ondary nutrients, plus the soil minerals Na and Si, were relatively free of exception-ally high concentrations. These elements are all abundant in nature and, with the exception of S and Si, are less commonly released from industrial sources. Because elements with right-skewed distributions often indicate pollution point sources, it would thus be expected that elements primarily derived from natural sources would have more normally distributed data.

Ranking locations with high concentrations of multiple elements of concern is one approach to prioritizing hotspots for further investigation. Figure 4 shows where moss concentrations were in the top eight highest for the six most toxic metals in our dataset (Ni, Cr, Co, Cd, Pb, and As). Figure 5 shows locations in the top 8 for the 10 most skewed elements, which includes all 6 of the most toxic metals (Mo, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr, Co, Cd, Pb, and As). Despite its highly skewed distribu-tion, manganese (Mn) was excluded as prior research suggests levels measured in moss are controlled by factors other than atmospheric concentrations (Boquete et al. 2011). Increasing the number of elements used in calculating the top 8 concentration from 6 to 10 does not alter the overall hotspot pattern although a few other sample locations with more than one value in the top-8 values emerge.

More research is needed to determine the exact relationship between moss concentrations and air concentrations.

Limitations and GuidelinesAt this stage in the research, the moss data should be regarded as a screening tool to identify possible problem areas for followup with actual air quality measurements. Even with a casual look at the element concentration dot maps in figure 3, the reader can identify many samples positioned very close to each other but with highly contrasting concentration values. This observation is both encouraging and concerning. It is encouraging because it suggests that the dispersion distance of most elements is relatively short and an isolated pollu-tion point source will affect only those in its immediate vicinity, ultimately a very small percentage of an urban area’s population. It is concerning because a pollution point source can remain undetected for a long time if relying exclu-sively on sparse air monitoring networks. To reduce the probability of missing a hotspot, the mean distance between neighboring samples will need to be shorter than the one used in this study, and the spatial allocation of the sample free of sizeable gaps. Ensuring the latter can be logistically challenging, while the former would be costly.

A key unknown is how accurately metal concentrations in the moss we used, Orthotrichum lyellii, reflect levels in the air. Donovan et al. (2016) found a very high correlation between moss Cd and atmospheric Cd measured by the Depart-ment of Environmental Quality (DEQ) (0.991 or 99.1 percent), but this relation-ship was based on only four data points and is thus not considered statistically significant. Otherwise, no calibration work (comparing moss-to-instrument values) has been done yet with Orthotrichum as this is the first time it has been used as a bioindicator.

It is likely that the strength of relationships between moss and atmospheric con-centrations will vary by element. This is because elements differ in how strongly they bind to moss cells, how long they are retained in the moss, and how susceptible they are to displacement by other co-occurring elements (Gonzalez and Pokrovsky 2014, Rühling and Tyler 1970). Additionally, moss cells regulate the uptake of elements with physiological roles, such as some of the plant essential nutrients (table 1) (Bates 1992), potentially weakening relationships with atmospheric concentra-tions. Also, emissions from natural sources of elements (e.g., soils, leachates from overstory vegetation, marine aerosols) can contribute to levels measured in moss. Therefore, it is likely that some Orthotrichum-based maps will portray air quality more accurately than others.

Most past research calibrating moss-based concentrations with air quality data focused on comparing ground-dwelling moss species against bulk deposi-tion measurements (Aboal et al. 2010). This may not accurately represent the epiphytic species we used and the DEQ’s high-volume particulate monitors used by Donovan et al. (2016) to calibrate our Cd data. Calibrating Orthotrichum is a top research priority. It is only possible to convert moss concentrations to health thresholds and regulatory standards if relationships are sufficiently strong. Otherwise, validation of moss hotspots using monitoring instruments is required to make inferences about health risks and absolute concentrations in the atmosphere.

The time period represented by metals in Orthotrichum is unknown, but it likely ranges between several months to a few years. This means moss concen-trations may indicate emissions sources that no longer exist and that repeat sam-pling over short time intervals may not accurately portray declining emissions after pollution abatement measures are taken. We analyzed elemental concentra-tions in only the upper two-thirds of moss stems and estimate that our samples could represent, at maximum, 3 years of exposure. In the reciprocal transplant study of Boquete et al. (2013), it took over 1.5 years for transplants from polluted environments to reach background concentrations of metals. Conversely, it took 240 days for transplants from “clean” sites to reflect metal concentrations at a polluted site. As it is well known that different species have different accumula-tion and retention capacities (Castello 2007, Gonzalez and Pokrovsky 2014, Halleraker et al. 1998), determining what timeframe Orthotrichum represents is another research priority.

Environmental conditions, such as precipitation intensity, pH, and temperature, may affect element concentrations in moss tissues although results seem to vary across studies (Čeburnis and Valiulis 1999, Gjengedal and Steinnes 1990). Effects on Orthotrichum concentrations are another unknown that could potentially affect both timeframe and strength of relationships to atmospheric concentrations. Annual and daily temperature, humidity, and precipitation were not significant predictors of Cd in moss (Donovan et al. 2016). However, we intentionally sampled within a short timeframe (2.5 weeks) to minimize variability in weather conditions so results are not definitive.

ConclusionsMosses are a useful screening tool for atmospheric pollutants. They can be used to inexpensively and quickly identify areas for the placement of pollution monitoring instruments. Moss and lichen bioindicators have provided valuable low-cost infor-mation on pollution levels in hundreds of other studies from dozens of countries across the world (e.g., Ares et al. 2012, Fuga et al. 2008, Garty Ha2001, Nguyen Viet et al. 2010, Zvěřina et al. 2014).

While monitoring instruments are expensive and require one or more months to yield results for a single location, they provide real-time, accurate measurements of pollutant concentrations in the air without the uncertainties of working with living organisms like moss bioindicators. The complementary use of both techniques has the potential to revolutionize how we monitor air quality in urban areas, helping to more efficiently and effectively inform about pollution levels and sources, an excel-lent example being current monitoring activities taking place in Portland, Oregon.

Moss monitoring research based on our Cd data helped identify two major, unregulated sources of Cd in Portland. Placement of an air monitor near one hotspot measured Cd and As levels that greatly exceeded health benchmarks (Donovan et al. 2016). These findings led to the installation of new pollution controls at both facilities, reexamination of regulatory exemptions for the stained-glass industry, and the creation of “Cleaner Air Oregon.”4 This new state program will provide more resources for air monitoring and mandates the development of risk-based standards for air toxics. Hotspots identified in this study may likewise assist in uncovering additional unknown or unregulated pollution sources; the provision of our raw data (app., table 6) will enable others to carry forward such investigations.
