Description:   The use of lichens and mosses as biomonitors of uranium mining activity at Elliot Lake, Ontario, was studied and the determination of uranium in Cladonia rangiferina by electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry was discussed.  The uptake and toxic effects of the neutral, cationic and anionic forms of the uranyl ion in Cladonia rangiferina were also investigated.
