dc.description.abstractThe lichens Rhizoplaca melanophthalma, Cladonia convoluta, Cladonia pyxidata and the mosses Grimmia pulvinata. Hypnum cupressiforme were analyzed for Pb, Cr, Cd, Co, Ni, Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe using atomic absorption spectrophotometry over a wide area around a coal-fired power plant located in Yatagan. The results were compared with the 210Po concentrations previously measured in the same samples. Correlations between 210Po and trace elements for different moss and lichen species of the same localization and for different localizations for the same species were also studied. In general trace element concentrations do not show significant differences from site to site for all species except Mn in Hypnum cupressiforme and 210Po in Grimmia pulvinata. To discuss the 210Pb level and sources in indicator plants analyzed, also radium contents of surface soil at each sampling station was measured and compared with the average values for similar soil types in the literature.en_US

dc.description.sponsorshipAs lichens, mosses are also suitable bioindicators of environmental contamination for a variety of metals and radionuclides. They obtain most of their nutrient supply directly from atmospheric deposition and have a great capacity to retain many elements. The use of mosses as bioindicators of atmospheric metal deposition has been widely accepted.4 GENONI et al.9 have found highest bioaccumulation values in H. cupressiforme immediately near the stacks, decreasing rapidly with distance of an oil-fired power plant in Northern Italy. FERNANDEZ et al.8 reported that the concentrations of the heavy metals are higher in H. cupressiforme than in S. purum. In recent years, an increasing number of environmental programmes have been developed for environmental monitoring using moss and lichen indicators. A coordinated research project on air pollution in a number of countries using mosses and lichens has been supported by IAEA.15 -- This work is supported by grants from The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜBWTAK) Contract No: YDABCAG 100Y60 and Ege University Science and Technology Research Center (EBWLTEM) Contract No: 2000/BWL/024. --en_US
