activity concentration of radionuclides in plants in the environment of western ghats
Authors
abstract
background: a field study on the transfer of primordial radionuclides 238u, 232th, 40k and fallout radionuclides 210po in different plant species in tropical forest of western ghats environment is presented. material and methods: the top storey, second storey, shrubs and epiphytic plant species were chosen and concentration of these radionuclides in plant and soil were measured by employing gamma ray spectrometer and alpha counter. results: the concentration ratio shows the variation in different species while a wild plant elaeocarpus oblongus and epiphytic plants indicated preferential uptake of these radionuclides. conclusion: the dust trapped in the root system of epiphytic plants could be used as bioindicator to monitor fallout radionuclides in the western ghats. the concentration of 232th and 40k in leaves depends on the age of the leaves. iran. j. radiat. res., 2009 7 (2): 85-90

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...

Background: A study on the migration characteristics of 238U, 210Po, 232Th and 40K within the soil to the wild plants in the Western Ghats were carried out. Materials and Methods: Concentrations of these radionuclides were measured in different depths of soil and from different species by employing gamma ray spectrometer and alpha counter. Results: The activity concentration of these r...
