The results of atmospheric deposition of trace elements in a 2015 moss survey in Georgia are reported. The 36 moss samples were collected in different regions of the Caucasus in compliance with the UNECE ICP Vegetation guidelines. Elemental determination was carried out by epithermal neutron activation analysis (ENAA). For the first time, 47 elements were determined for the sampled areas. The scanning electron microscopy with x-ray energy-dispersive analysis was applied to examine the origin of
