Due to the fact that the thallus of the lichen genus Cladonia is a valuable raw material for series of biological products used in medicine and food industry, performed analysis on the content of a number of toxic and nutrient elements 31 32 and 137Cs and 90Sr radionuclides in lichen samples taken from different areas of the Republic Sakha (Yakutia). It is shown that in the lichens gathering locations (for subsequent biotechnological processing) the content of toxic heavy metals and radionuclides in the tens or hundreds of times below of maximum allowable concentration for these elements in foods. In addition to paper presents analytical data on the determination of some biologically active substances in the lichen.
