This work was carried out within the Programme of Dr. Study, University of
Tirana, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Department of Chemistry. The study started in
2009 when our research group from University of Tirana joined the European Moss
Survey conducted within the framework of the International Cooperative
Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops, ICP
Vegetation. The survey was repeated in 2015, at the same period with the European
moss survey conducted under the framework of the UNECE ICP Vegetation

and to Professor Eiliv Steinnes for their collaboration within the programme. Their
continuous collaboration is highly appreciated.
We express our gratitude to the staff of the Sector of NAA and Applied Research
Division of Nuclear Physics of FLNP, JINR, Dubna, Russian Federation and the
Institute of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Sts. Cyril and Methodius University,
