Atmospheric contaminants from industrial sources present measurable risks to ecosystems and humans, requiring robust biomonitoring solutions. An active moss biomonitoring technique using Pleurozium schreberi, Dicranum polysetum, and Sphagnum fallax was applied to assess atmospheric deposition of chemical elements and associated ecological risks as well as to evaluate species-specific differences in element accumulation in moss samples exposed near metallurgical enterprises and urban highways model urboecosystem (Tula, Russia). The content of Al, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, S, V, and Zn in exposed and unexposed samples was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, while Hg was analyzed using DMA-80. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed no significant differences in elements uptake between species, except for Ba and Hg between Dicranum polysetum and Sphagnum fallax, as well as Zn between Pleurozium schreberi and Sphagnum fallax. The Relative Accumulation Factor values showed higher Sphagnum fallax enrichment in most of the elements, and lower leakage compared to other species. A very high Potential Ecological Risk score was observed for V in samples exposed close to enterprises Tulachermet and Evraz Vanadium Tula. Among the species analyzed, Sphagnum fallax exhibited the highest PER score (1462), while Dicranum polysetum (676) and Pleurozium schreberi (693) also consistently fell into the very high ecological risk category. The findings demonstrate that Sphagnum fallax possesses higher metal accumulation capacity compared to other species, particularly for Cd and Pb. Vanadium emissions from Tulachermet and Evraz Vanadium Tula pose the highest ecological risk, in case of all moss species indicating “very high risk” pollution levels. These results highlight the effectiveness of active moss biomonitoring for urban-industrial pollution assessment and underscore the need for emission control measures in the studied industrial zones.
