title: Cs-137 in the natural environment of the Gorce Mountains (Poland).
abstract: Concentration of activity of Cs-137 and its spatial distribution in soils and lichenHypogymnia physodeswere determined in the Gorce Mts. (several hundred km2) in S Poland. The authors distinguished two areas of the Gorce Mts. on the basis of markedly different Cs-137 depositions, whose respective average values are 4.4 and 9.9 kBq/m2as at 1st July 2005. The average Cs-137 activity concentration in the lichenH.physodesfrom the Gorce is 47 Bq/kg d.m. A significant local variability of quantities measured amounts to a few dozen percent was found.
