Simulating the Transfer of Strontium-90 from Soil to Leafy Vegetables by Using Strontium-88
The transfer, from soil to Chinese cabbage and spinach, of radioactive strontium-90 released as a result of accidents in nuclear power stations was studied using a stable isotope of strontium, namely nuclide strontium-88 (88Sr). The study led to an experimental model for assessing the hazard of radionuclide strontium-90 (90Sr) entering the food chain and for predicting the risk to food safety. ...
متن کاملFactors Influencing the Soil to Plant Transfer of Radiocaesium
Radiocaesium isotopes are among the long-lived radionuclides which were released in largest quantities into the environment as a consequence of the atmospheric nuclear weapon tests and accidents involving nuclear material (Chernobyl and Fukushima, etc.). Its transfer to plants, especially those for human or animal food, can be a major pathway for human intake and, therefore, have a significant ...
متن کاملPredicting the transfer of radiocaesium from organic soils to plants using soil characteristics.
A model predicting plant uptake of radiocaesium based on soil characteristics is described. Three soil parameters required to determine radiocaesium bioavailability in soils are estimated in the model: the labile caesium distribution coefficient (kd1), K+ concentration in the soil solution [mK] and the soil solution-->plant radiocaesium concentration factor (CF, Bq kg-1 plant/Bq dm-3). These we...
متن کاملTransfer of metals from soil to vegetables and possible health risk assessment
Metal contamination in agricultural soils is of increasing concern due to food safety issues and potential health risks. Accumulation of Heavy and trace metals in vegetables occur by various sources but soil is considered the major one. Consumption of vegetables containing (heavy/trace) metals is one of the main ways in which these elements enter the human body. Once entered, heavy metals are d...
متن کاملMunicipal composts reduce the transfer of Cd from soil to vegetables.
Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential trace element that accumulates in agricultural soils through the application of Cd-rich phosphate fertiliser. Vegetables can accumulate Cd to concentrations that sometimes exceed food safety standards. We investigated the potential of low-cost soil amendments to reduce Cd uptake by spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and onion (Allium cepa...
