The survey results of an atmospheric deposition of major, minor and trace elements
using the moss biomonitoring technique are given for the vicinity of the largest
thermal power plant in Serbia. The mosses of genus Brachythecium sp. and species
Kindbergia praelonga (Hedw) Ochyra, both pleurocarpous, were favoured. The concentrations of 22 elements were determined in moss samples using different spectrometric
techniques depending on the sensitivity needed. Elevated concentrations of As, Cd, Co,
Hg, Ni and V were found in the vicinity of the thermal power plant. The results obtained
were chemometrically treated by cluster analysis, which grouped the elements into
three clusters based on common patterns in their concentrations.
