Times Cited Count:22 Percentile:51.80(Environmental Sciences)Radiocaesium activity concentrations (Cs,
Cs) were measured in parmelioid lichens collected within the Fukushima Prefecture approximately 2 y after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident. A total of 44 samples consisting of nine species were collected at 16 points within a 60 km radius of the FDNPP. The activity concentration of
Cs ranged from 4.6 to 1000 kBq kg
and for
Cs ranged from 7.6 to 1740 kBq kg
. A significant positive correlation was found between the
Cs activity concentration in lichens and the
Cs deposition density on soil, based on the calculated Spearman's rank correlation coefficients as
= 0.90 (
0.01). The two dominant species, Flavoparmelia caperata and Parmotrema clavuliferum, showed strong positive correlations, for which the r values were calculated as 0.92 (
0.01) and 0.90 (
0.01) respectively. Therefore, they are suggested as biomonitoring species for levels of radiocaesium fallout within the Fukushima Prefecture.
