Abstract

Lichens ( Hypogymnia physodes L.) were used as a bioindicator of heavy metal pollution in ten Polish national parks. Significant differences were found between particular parks in the concentrations of metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe). The lowest concentrations were found in Wigierski National Park. A global pollution index was calculated to compare the contamination of all investigated parks.
