Agricultural pollution with 137 Cs is an ecological threat due to its sustained half-life and
radioactivity. Release of radiocesium isotopes after major nuclear power plant accidents like …

In this work we critically assess the soil-to-plant transfer factors (TF) for 137 Cs and 40 K in
edible fleshy organs of tropical plants that are often components of the human diet …

It is crucial to understand the behaviour of radionuclides in the environment, their potential
mobility and bioavailability related to their long-term persistence and their radiological …

In this investigation we evaluate the soil uptake of 137Cs and 40K by tropical plants and
their consequent translocation to fruits, by calculating the soil-to-fruit transfer factors defined …

Commercial animal feed in Texas was characterized by determining natural gamma emitters
including 40K, 137Cs, and Uranium (235U and 238U) and Thorium (232Th) series to obtain …

In the present work, the accumulation of caesium and potassium in aboveground plant parts
was studied in order to improve the understanding on the behaviour of monovalent cations …

In the present work the distribution of ions in aboveground plant parts was studied in order to
establish the suitability of using radiocaesium as a tracer for the plant absorption of nutrients …

Greenhouse pot culture experiment was carried out to study the 134Cs transfer factors from
soils to green gram and soybean as influenced by waste mica application (@ 0, 10, 20 …

The migration of radionuclides in tropical soils and groundwaters is subject to the same
basic scientific principles as many other environments. However, the behaviour of …

The aim of this study is to determine the amounts of radionuclides' activity present in
samples of feed for young and adult chicken and feed for dairy and beef cattle, as well as in …
