Abstract:
The paper represents results of studies of moss accumulation properties, used for atmospheric pollution monitoring. Four species of the forest moss, 4 species of paludal moss and 2 species of epiphytic moss were taken as research objects. The determination of chemical element contents in moss was carried out, using the neutron-activation and atom-emission methods of analysis. It is shown that moss accumulation properties differ both among representatives of different systematic groups and inside a group. The optimal test-objects for regional and local atmospheric pollution monitoring were determined.
