Since 1990/1991 naturally-occurring mosses have been sampled at a European scale at five-yearly intervals as biomonitors for the deposition of ten heavy metals from the atmosphere. Country-specific temporal trends and the main polluted areas have been identified and changes in heavy metal concentrations in mosses in Europe between 1990 and 2005 summarised. This report is for scientists, policy makers and others with an interest in atmospheric heavy metal pollution. Further such publications can be viewed from the website of the International Cooperative Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops.
