The contribution of the conflict of 1999 to the environmental levels of uranium in the Balkan area was evaluated by means of lichens used as biomonitors. The average U concentration found in lichens in the present study was in line with the values reported for lichens from other countries and well below the levels found in lichens collected in areas with natural or anthropogenic sources of U. Measurement of isotopic ratios 235U/238U allowed to exclude the presence of depleted uranium. According to these results, we could not detect widespread environmental contamination by depleted uranium in the Balkan area.
通过将地衣用作生物监测器，评估了1999年冲突对巴尔干地区环境中铀含量的影响。本研究中在地衣中发现的铀平均浓度与其他国家报道的地衣中的值一致，并且远低于在有天然或人为铀源地区采集的地衣中的浓度。对同位素比率235U/238U的测量排除了贫铀的存在。根据这些结果，我们在巴尔干地区未检测到贫铀造成的广泛环境污染。
