Abstract: 2 tables. 8 figures. ["The variation in concentration (C(d)) of uranium and lead in lichens and mosses with distance (d) from emission sources associated with the mining and milling of uranium conformed to the equation: C(d) = md -n[exponent] +b." Estimates of effective radius of a macro-pollution zone can now be determined.]
