In the present paper the contribution to the external gamma dose rate due to 137Cs in soil as a function of time is presented. Sampling sites were selected along the Calabria and Basilicata Regions coastal beaches (southern ...

This work studies the dependence of Cs-137 root uptake on the structure of landscape, especially on the properties of soils, under controlled conditions. Researches were carried out at various levels of Cs-137 contamination ...

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, such as potassium (K(+)) ...

137Cs can be an important environmental contaminant due to fallout from nuclear reactor accidents and atomic weapons testing. Its contribution to the air gamma dose rate at 1 m height above contaminated ground depends on ...

Stable cesium can be considered as the best element for desorption of soil radio-cesium. It is considered an element that slightly absorbed by plants, so that the application of high doses to the soil could increase the ...

O presente trabalho estimou as condições de preenchimento do estuário Jacuípe, localizado no litoral norte da Bahia, utilizando-se os métodos geocronológicos combinados Pb210 e Cs137 e a verificação dos espaços de acomodação ...
