Fig. 3.8 Spatial distribution of Cu, Mo, Ag and Zn
throughout the studied area with higher contents of these elements found in the
moss samples from the central part of the study area. It was found that some of the
elements have higher content in the area close to REK Bitola and in the area between
REK Bitola and the city of Bitola. This is the case for the spatial distribution of
chromium and zinc as well as for zinc and copper (from Factors 2 and 3). The spatial distribution maps indicate the areas under the dust from the fly ash and slag
deposit in the REK Bitola because these elements are present in higher content in
this material than in the surrounding soil.
