Abstract: In summer 1990, four years after the Chernobyl accident, an IAEA coordinated survey was carried out in order to assess the radiological consequences and to study the possible effects of releases of (heavy) metals into the environment. Within the framework of this survey, lichens (Parmelia sulcata) were sampled in the Novozybkov, Bragin and Ovruc regions around Chernobyl and ¹³⁷Cs and Pb levels were determined by γ-ray spectroscopy and Graphite Furnace-Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GF-AAS), respectively.
