THE EXTENT AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE UPTAKE BY PLANTS OF RADIOACTIVE NUCLIDES
Journal Article
·
· Ann. Rev. Plant Physiol.
A brief summary is presented of current knowledge on the sources and extent of radiation to which the world population has been exposed. The role of plants in the transfer of radionuclides from the environment to man is considered; with emphasis on the characteristics of radioactive substances that cause them to be important sources of internal radiation. Isotopes considered in detail include Sr/sup 90/, I/sup 131/, Cs/sup 137/, Ra/sup 226/, Ra/sup 228/, Th/ sup 232/, Th/s up 228/, C/sup 14/, and Pu. (96 references.) (C.H.)
