Sažetak
This paper aims to provide insight into the Atmospheric Deposition of Heavy metals and Airborne Radionuclides in Croatia by using the Moss Biomonitoring Technique. Study was particularly undertaken in order to measure and define radionuclide concentrations in CRO terrestrial moss before any significant changes that could occurred as a result of dry and/or wet deposition processes after long range transboundary radioactive pollution. Moss samples were collected during the summer 2010 from 123 locations in Croatia evenly distributed over the entire country. Sampling was performed in accordance with the LRTAP Convention - ICP Vegetation protocol and sampling strategy of the European Programme on Biomonitoring of Heavy Metal Atmospheric Deposition. Preliminary results on the selected samples from CRO 2010 moss biomonitoring survey may serve as a valuable tool for Radiological Exposure Assessment that can help to establish a “background pollution levels” – related to the possible effects from potential future contamination events.
