Important alpha, beta and gamma - Emitting radionuclides in lichens and mosses collected in different world areas
A radioecological survey was carried out in several world areas and different contamination levels were assessed through biological monitoring of the territory. In fact, concentrations of 90Sr, 134Cs, 137Cs and 239,240pu were detected in some species of lichens and mosses collected in Italy, Scandin...
