Abstract: [Study in Slovenia using Hypogymnia physodes and the moss Hypnum cupressiforme which " ... were analyzed for 210Pb and 137Cs. Further, the results for 210Pb were compared with outdoor 222Rn and with precipitation data. There was a relatively good agreement between the two biomonitors, with the highest values in the northern part of the country."
