      abstract = {This book provides an overview of air quality in Albania  evaluated by moss biomonitoring and metals atmospheric  deposition. It is based on the concentration data onto 51  elements in moss samples collected during 2010/2011 moss  biomonitoring survey conducted at the same time with  European moss biomonitoring survey. The elements under  investigation were determined by using ICP-AES and ENAA  analytical techniques. Moss species Hypnum cupressiforme  (Hedw) sps., a carpet-forming bryophyte, was used as  bioindicator of trace metal atmospheric deposition. The  goal of this study was to identify factors leading to the  high levels of trace metals in at-mospheric deposition in  Albania, to identify the risk factors and the origin of  trace metals in atmos-pheric deposition. It may help the  policy makers and regulators to take proper decisions to  protect the public health and the environment. The  distribution pattern of the elements was visualized by  using the geographic information system, GIS 10.2. The  predicted trends of the distribution were calculated by  using time series (linear model) and the areas with high  concentration of certain met-als were suggested for  monitoring and to be under control.},
