The mosses Pleurozium schreberi, Hylocomium splendes and Dicranum scoparium were used as biomonitors to study the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals on the territory of Slovakia. The samples of mosses were collected on 86 permanent plots. Comparison with limit values from Norway shows strong pollution of the examined areas of Slovakia with many different heavy metals. The maximum level of pollution by heavy metals was observed in the region Gemer-Spis. The most important feature of sampling is that it correlates with the European Moss-Survey-2000 and the results obtained will be incorporated in the Atlas of Heavy Metal Atmospheric Deposition in Europe
