Uptake of radioactive and stable Co and Zn isotopes by barley plants under mixed radioactive and chemical contamination of soils (English available)

Author: S. V. Kruglov, G. V. Lavrent’eva, Yu. A. Pivovarova, V. S. Anisimov

Reference: Eurasian Soil Science, 2010

ISSN: 1556-195x

DOI: 10.1134/S1064229310030130

Keywords: co, zn, soil, plants, podzolic soil, chernozem, isotope

Abstract: The effect of Co and Zn on the accumulation of 60Co and 65Zn by plants was studied in experiments with growing barley on a soddy-podzolic soil and a chernozem containing the radionuclide and increasing concentrations (from the background level to a high degree of contamination) of the corresponding metal. The root uptake of 60Co was directly related to the soil contamination with Co and its accumulation in the plants, while an inverse relationship was observed between the activity of 65Zn in the plants and the content of Zn in the soil. It was concluded that the transfer of the radionuclide into the plants under mixed radioactive and chemical contamination depended, on the one hand, on the mobile reserve of the stable nuclide in the soil and the solid phase potential to release its ions into the soil solution and, on the other hand, on the requirement of the plants for this element and the uptake rate of its ions by the roots from the solution.

ISSN: 2073-4999

DOI: 636.59 : 631.438

Keywords: radionuclide contamination, poultry, environment, meat, 137cs

Abstract: The article presents data concerning the migration of cesium-137 in the chain “soil – plant (feed) – the bird – products (meat)”, as well as limits of acceptable content of radionuclides in feed and permissible contamination of pastures for waterfowl. Suggests ways to reduce the concentration of cesium-137 in the organism and meat of poultry by applying sorbents and culinary processing, which are successfully implemented in conditions of radioactive contamination from the Chernobyl disaster.
