Based on the data of 46 sites of the 1990 moss survey (background study) ratios of concentrations were derived  between the two species Hypnum cupressiforme and Hylocomium splendens. The elements analysed were As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Tl, V and Zn.
A rough estimation of bulk depositions from H.c. data (second study) was possible for the elements Cd, Pb and Zn.
