Abstract
For an unbiased determination of the degree of contamination of plants in the sphere of industrial establishments a method was developed by which a qualitative and quantitative fixation of the real dust cover could be found on the spot at any given time. Such a method must also be practicable as a field method and must provide the possibility for collecting the necessary amount of test material in the field in the shortest possible time and by the simplest means. For this purpose two methods were tried: the production of proof films including all contaminations of the leaf surface, and the production of impression preparations, by which the dust cover is picked up in its natural arrangement by an adhesive layer. The latter has proven to be the more efficient method. For the production of impression preparations transparent adhesive tape on a cellulose basis has proved to be very suitable. The making of impression preparations of contaminated leaves by means of the adhesive tape method is described in detail. It consists of the applications on the leaves, the removal of the Scotch tape and the preparation of microscopic preparations of the proofs; this can be done by different means, either
