The use of honey for monitoring air pollution, specifically heavy metal pollution, in urban areas involves melissopalynological and chemical research. The honey's pollen spectra provide information on the plants from which honey-bees have collected nectar. We can thus recognize the area through which they have flown and evaluate the corresponding heavy metal levels.

Abstract
The use of honey for monitoring air pollution, specifically heavy metal pollution, in urban areas involves melissopalynological and chemical research. The honey's pollen spectra provide information on the plants from which honey-bees have collected nectar. We can thus recognize the area through which they have flown and evaluate the corresponding heavy metal levels.
