Extraction of 137 Cs sorbed in samples of C. islandica using distilled water was investigated. An equation desrcribing the reduction of the 137 Cs content in a dry lichen sample by the number of water volumes used for successive extractions was defined. The possibilities of the existence of two different types of 137 Cs sorption in the-lichen was established.
