Abstract
The subject of the present investigations are some ecological aspects of mosses of the cooling tower in petrochemical works with representatives of three genera (Bryum, Barbula and Eurhynchium) with species growing in the immediate vicinity of the cooling water on the concrete wall of the cooling tower which cause corrosion of the concrete.
In a series of experiments it has been shown that the mosses and the corresponding microflora are able to decompose and utilize acetone, phenol and polyphosphates from the cooling water.
