Natural soil Cs concentration is low and non-toxic to plants. The stable isotope Cs is present at concentrations close to 25 μg per g of dry soil [23] and only specially Cs-rich pollucite might cause environmental toxicity of Cs, as in areas of Manitoba [20]. Additionally, two radioisotopes of Cs, Cs and Cs, originating from industry, testing of thermonuclear weapons and from radiation accident...
