Lichens have been used as biomonitors of airborne radionuclides released in conjunction
with nuclear bomb testing as well as nuclear power plant accidents. The potential of lichens …

Activity concentrations of gross-β, naturally occurring 226 Ra, 232 Th, 210 Pb, 7 Be and
anthropogenic 137 Cs in epiphytic lichens collected from Uludağ Mountain are presented …

137Cs content in lichens and substrate (soil, bark) collected from W. Macedonia, Greece
was measured 20 years after the Chernobyl reactor accident. Archive material from previous …

The aim of this work was to investigate the significance of species specificity on the
efficiency of 137Cs isolation from lichens. It was shown that a 5% solution of both …

The Arctic region is substantially a pristine area, but this unique part of the globe has also
been contaminated by anthropogenic radioactive nuclides, and now there is still measurable …

The activity concentration of 131I, 134Cs and 137Cs radionuclides in lichens was traced
one and a half months after the Fukushima nuclear accident. The samples were collected in …

In the aftermath of the Chernobyl reactor accident, the radioactivity in lichens and mosses
has been studied. 137 Cs concentrations ranged from about 1070 to 14 560 Bq kg− 1 in …

In this work, accumulation of cosmogenic radionuclide 7 Be in seven species of lichens was
determined using HPGe detectors in autumn season. Ramsar city which is located in the …

After the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986, 14 lichen specimens collected from Trabzon
and Rize in 1995 were used to detect the amount of the fallout radionuclides. In this paper …

Abstract In 2011–2013, sampling of epiphytic fruticose lichens of the genera Usnea, Bryoria
and Alectoria was carried out on Sakhalin and Kuril Islands (the Sakhalin region, Russia) to …
