Popis: The composition of elements and proportion of atomic masses (%) on the surface of apothecia discs of crustose lichens Candelariella vitellina, Caloplaca pyracea, and C. vitellinula, which were collected in the experimental field of the former Semipalatinsk test site and in the town of Kurchatov (Republic of Kazakhstan), were measured. The measurements were taken with instruments without destroying the samples. There were 22 elements found on the surfaces of apothecia discs. The highest enrichment factor was detected in Co, Cu, Zn, As, Hg, and Pb, both in the town and in the experimental field.
