1 New results from long-term monitoring of Rila mountain region (2-26) Elements content in grass and lichen samples Emilia Nikolova, Ari Artinyan INRNE-BAS, XRF Laboratory

2 The element content measurements are based on EDXRF analyses Isotope excitation of characteristics lines is used A simple sample preparation procedure is applied

3 Elements content in grass samples

4

5 Why grass? The Grass is wide spread phyto-monitor - from the low valley to the high mountain. It is almost everywhere All kinds of grass are used as a feed for many animals Concentrations of trace elements found inside grass are directly correlated with environmental levels of these elements All the samples were collected from the open area, far away from local ways, roads and impact terrains The grass samples were analyzed for 3 elements

14 Elements content in lichen samples

15 Why lichen? Lichen are at a lower level of the biological system growth. Lichens are dependent almost exclusively on the atmosphere for nutrients, absorbing and retaining captions from very dilute solutions like rain-water. It is well known that they have the ability to accumulate many airborne substances to concentrations above those in the environment. Some authors showed that the concentrations of trace elements found inside lichen are directly correlated with environmental levels of these elements. All the samples were collected from spruce tree (Picea) at the height 1,5-2 m and analyzed for 3 elements.

23 CONCLUSIONS There are No significant changes in elements content in the investigated monitors during the period More regularly sampling is necessary in order to provide statistically reliable estimations The EDXRF is one of the analytical methods proved for long-term investigation of great amounts of environment oriented samples
