![]() This anomaly could lead to erroneous assessment of deposition of pollutants created by emitters long apart. In mosses growing near the road covered with ash, increased concentration of the following elements has been determined: Mg, Al, Cl, Ca, Sc, V, Mn, Fe, Zn, As, Se, Br, Cd, I, La, Dy, Yb, Ta and Th, which could gives evidence to the presence of bioavailable forms of these elements. It has been demonstrated that the analytes concentration in ashes is several to a dozen or so times even higher than mean concentrations determined in soil samples collected at a distance of 5 to 30 km from the road (pollution source). A total of 41 elements was determined: 38 using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and 3 using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Samples of Pleurozium schreberi moss and soil collected near the road showed higher values of macro- and microelements in comparison with other samples collected within the monitored area. The anomaly was discovered during the biomonitoring tests conducted in the area of Bory Stobrawskie (southern Poland). ![]() This source influences the analytes concentrations in soil in their close vicinity. Pollution due to ashes spilt out into forest roads has been identified.
