Abstract
Concentrations of 210Pb, 7Be and 137Cs in moss samples were continuously measured, using low-background HPGe spectrometer at Novi Sad, Serbia (45°14′45″N, 19°51′35″E). Weekly data collected over 14 month period from January 2007 to March 2008 are presented and discussed. Measured values of 7Be activity concentrations in dry moss samples are ranged from 201 to 920 Bq/kg showing prominent increase in summer and autumn season. Data for 210Pb, ranged from 347 to 885 Bq/kg do not show such trend. The average concentration of 137Cs is 8.9 Bq/kg. It is shown that yield of 7Be can be estimated using average values of activity concentrations. Precipitation amount and duration of precipitation are measured and their possible influence on activity concentrations measured in moss samples was considered.
