The active moss biomonitoring technique was applied to assess the environmental pollution in the Donetsk region and to compare the biomonitoring capacity of acrocarpous (Ceratodon purpureus) and pleurocarpous (Brachythecium campestre) moss transplants. Moss bags were exposed for 6 months in the surroundings of two steelworks, a power station, and two parks. The concentrations of 19 elements were determined in the moss transplants by neutron activation analysis and atomic absorption spectrometry. Various environmental indices—relative accumulation factor, contamination factor, pollution load index, enrichment factor, and ecological risk index—were used to quantitatively assess the degree of ambient contamination. The RAF values indicate that the most prevalent elements in Brachythecium campestre and Ceratodon purpureus were Na, Al, Ca, Fe, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Ba, Sr, Pd, and Cd. The results showed a significant difference between metal accumulation by Ceratodon purpureus and Brachythecium campestre indicating various mechanisms of uptake. All elements were highly correlated in Ceratodon purpureus. The main air pollution sources in the region are the Zuivska power station (Zuivska TES), Donetsk Metallurgical Plant, and Yenakiieve Iron and Steel Works.

主动藓类生物监测技术被用于评估顿涅茨克地区的环境污染，并比较了杂果类（Ceratodon purpureus）和胸果类（Brachythecium campestre）青苔移植的生物监测能力。苔藓袋在两个钢铁厂，一个电站和两个公园的环境中暴露了六个月。通过中子活化分析和原子吸收光谱法测定了苔藓移植物中19种元素的浓度。各种环境指数（相对累积因子，污染因子，污染负荷指数，富集因子和生态风险指数）用于定量评估环境污染程度。RAF值表示青藓坎佩斯特里和角齿藓是钠，铝，钙，铁，钛，钒，铬，锰，钴，镍，锌，钡，锶，钯，和Cd。结果表明：通过金属积累之间的差异显著角齿藓和青藓坎佩斯特里指示摄取的各种机制。所有元素在紫癜中都高度相关。该地区的主要空气污染源是Zuivska电站（Zuivska TES），顿涅茨克冶金厂和Yenakiieve钢铁厂。
