Sažetak
Moss biomonitoring technique was used in this work for studying the atmospheric pollution with heavy metals in the Republic of Croatia. First investigation for air pollution with heavy metals in Croatia by using moss biomonitoring technique was applied in 2006 in the framework of International Cooperative Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE-ICP Vegetation), when moss samples were collected from 96 locations. Results from this thesis are part of the investigation in 2010. Samples from different species of moss (Hylocomium splendens, Pleurozium schreberi, Hypnum cupressiforme, Scleropodium purum и Brachythecium) were collected during the summer and autumn in 2010 from 121 locations evenly distributed over the theritory of Croatia. The content of 21 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Li, K, Mn, Mg, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sr, V и Zn) was analysed by atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-AES) and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Data processing was performed using software Statistica (StatSoft Version 6). Descriptive statistic for all chemical elements was made. Principal Components Factor Analysis (PCFA), was used to discover associations of chemical elements. Six factors (F1 to F6) were determined of which two are anthropogenic (F3 and F6), other two are mixed geogenic-anthropogenic (F1 and F5) and two are geogenic factors (F2 and F4). Maps of geographical distribution were made for all six factors. For some significant chemical elements were made individual maps of distribution.
