Background concentrations of lead and cadmium in the lichen Hypogymnia physodes at different altitudes.
The background concentrations of lead and cadmium in the epiphytic lichen Hypogymnia physodes were determined and found to depend on altitude. The lead content increases linearly with increasing altitude, whereas the cadmium content increases up to altitudes of 900-1100 m, and then decreases above this height.
