- •
Metal levels in tissues of the stonework snail P. papillaris reflect traffic load.
- •
Al, Cr, Fe, Ni and Pb scraped from wall surfaces are mostly excreted with feces.
- •
Snail tissues are better indicator of metal pollution and bioavailability than moss.
- •
Pb levels in excreta highlight the scarce Pb absorption in land snail tissues.
- •
P. papillaris tissues accumulate higher levels of Mn than other snail species.
