Mankovská B., Oszlányi J., Barancok P.: Measurement of the atmosphere loading of the Slovak Carpathians using bryophyte technique. Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 27, No. 4, p. 339-350, 2008.
Biomonitoring of multielement atmospheric deposition using terrestrial moss is a well-established technique in Europe. The moss samples of Hylocomium splendens, Pleurozium schreberi and Dicranum sp. were collected in the Slovak part of the Carpathian Mountains (sites of Geldek, Stefanová, Pol'ana, Východná, StolÃky, Morské oko). A total of 39 elements including a number of toxic metals and rare earths were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis using epithermal neutrons at ...
