ABSTRACT

Material on the species composition of epiphyton algae of some water bodies of the town of Kiev, and also on their role along with macrophytes in the process of ¹³⁷Cs and ⁹⁰Sr accumulation is given in the paper. It has been found that epiphyton algae occurring in the fouling of hydrophytes differed from those observed in the fouling of helophytes in the pattern of accumulation of the studied radionuclides. For the most part phytoepiphyton accumulated larger amounts of radionuclides as compared to higher aquatic plants.
