In the present work, Po-210 and Pb-210 deposition in some lichen species were determined using an alpha spectrometer. Different lichens were collected around Demirci-Manisa and investigated their uses as biomonitor for Po-210 and Pb-210 deposition. The highest activity concentrations for Po-210 and Pb-210 were detected in Neofuscelia pulla (898Bq kg(-1) and 1207Bq kg(-1), respectively). The mean activities in the lichen species ranged from 164 to 584Bq kg(-1) for Po-210 and from 175 to 671Bq kg(-1) for Pb-210. The activity ratios for Po-210/Pb-210 ranged from 0.75 to 1.57.EnglishFIRED POWER-PLANTMOSSESRADIOACTIVITYENVIRONMENTAREAArticle
