Sažetak
Croatia participated 2006 and 2010 in moss survey in the framework of the International Cooperative Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops heavy metals in Europe. http://icpvegetation.ceh.ac.uk Moss samples were collected during the summer/autumn of 2006 and 2010, from locations evenly distributed over the country. The most dominant moss species in this study area were Hypnum cupressiforme, Pleurozium schreberi, Brachythecium rutabulum and Homalothecium sericeum. In addition to the comprehensive qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of all samples collected (Špirić et al., 2012 and Špirić et al., 2013), laboratory research by using the Kjeldahl analytical method was conducted in order to determine nitrogen concentration in all collected moss samples. In addition to that, 22 out of 161 moss samples from 2010 were subjected to gamma-spectrometric analyses for assessing activity of the naturally occurring radionuclides. Also, some selected samples were analysed for PAHs, PCBs, PCDDs and PCDFs. According to this research and in comparison of the results in 2006 with 2010, it is obvious that the state of anthropogenic pollution in the last five years in Croatia has not changed significantly, although it is obvious that the anthropogenic influence in decreasing.
