Concentrations of the elements Al, As, Br, Ca, Cd, Cl, Co, Cs, Fe, Hf, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Ti, Th, U, V, Zn and lanthanides were determined and a preliminary comparisons was made between the results obtained for samples collected in different sites.317-320openAccesslichensair pollution monitoringneutron activation analysismulti-element analysiselementstrace amountsair pollutionair qualitypollutionbrazilArtigo de periódico224910.1023/A:1013281527993
