Abstract
The increasing content of heavy metals in soil and atmospheric air can lead to serious consequences in the final link of which a person is. To determine heavy metals in atmospheric deposition, the method of biomonitoring of mosses was used. Joint Institute for Nuclear Research scientists started the implementation of the mosses biomonitoring methodology in Azerbaijan 2015. In total, the concentration was determined for 44 elements. Determinations were performed using instrumental analysis of Epithermal Neutron Activation and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy in 85 moss samples. The species of moss used in the work was Pleurosium schreberi. Based on the analysis results, the most contaminated areas are identified.Keywords
