Özet
Radiocesium levels in mosses collected from Akçaabat, Maçka and Sürmene in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey were determined 9 years after the Chernobyl accident occurred. Cs-134 and Cs-137 radionuclides were detected in all samples. The measured levels of Cs-134 and Cs-137 ranged between 28-207 and 117-8431 Bq/kg depending on moss genera and species dry weight respectively. The highest concentrations of Cs-137 were found in Anomodon viticulosus, Racomitrium lanuginosum and Leucobryum glaucum while the lowest activity was detected in Calliergon cuspidatum, Dicranum majus and Pseudoscleropodium purum. © 1999 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V.
