Determination of Lichens’ Bioaccumulation Capacity for Radioactive Isotopes Under Laboratory Conditions as a Basis for Their Application as Biomonitors

Determination of Lichens’ Bioaccumulation Capacity for Radioactive Isotopes Under Laboratory Conditions as a Basis for Their Application as Biomonitors

This study investigates the bioaccumulation capacity of the lichen <i>Cladonia uncialis</i> for radioactive isotopes, aiming to establish its potential as a biomonitor. Conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, the experiment utilised gamma-emitting isotopes to simulate fallout....
