“…Similar concentration ratios (mean of 0.30) were obtained for mosses in a Canadian survey (Sheppard et al, 2006). The values obtained in this work are lower than those obtained for mosses at a High Arctic location (Dowdall et al, 2005). They are also several-fold lower than CRs obtained for 226 Ra in mosses growing in the vicinity of lignite power plants in West Macedonia, Greece (Tsikritzis et al, 2003).…”
