Empleo de bioindicadores para determinar la calidad del aire en la ciudad de Tarija en puntos de muestreo de red MoniCA
Abstract
La posibilidad de emplear biomonitoreo activo con Vicia faba, Raphanus sativus y biomonitoreo pasivo por medio de cartografía de líquenes dentro de la ciudad de Tarija no se ha considerado hasta la fecha. Este tipo de monitoreo se han realizado en otras ciudades de Bolivia; pero con condiciones climatológicas y geográficas diferentes, por lo que no se conoce su viabilidad en territorio tarijeño. Este tipo de estudio se considera una alternativa económica y fácil de emplear en relación a los procesos de monitoreo tradicionales, por lo que podrían establecerse como estudios previos de calidad del aire en ciudades más pequeñas dentro del departamento. Siendo un estudio subjetivo y al estar sujeto a variables externas, se ha decidido realizar una comparación con datos reales registrados por la Red de Monitoreo de Calidad de Aire (Red MoniCA).
The possibility of using active bio monitoring with Vicia faba, Raphanus sativus and passive bio monitoring through mapping lidien in the city of Tarija has not been considered to this date. This type of monitoring is carried out in other cities of Bolivia; but with different climatic and geographical conditions, so its feasibility in Tarija's territory is unknown. These type of studies are considered an economic alternative with an easy application compared to traditional monitoring process, which could be established as a preliminary study for air quality in smaller cities within the department. Being a subjective study and to be subject to external variables, it has been decided to carry out a comparison with recorded data by the Air Quality Monitoring Network (MoniCA Network).
