Abstract
Surface (0-5 cm) soil samples taken from representative sites throughout Jerusalem. in the Fall-Winter 1993. Were measured by high resolution {gamma}-ray spectroscopy using an intrinsic Ge detector. {sup 134}Cs and {sup 137}Cs derived from Chernobyl accident were found in all samples. though the radiocesium activity varied widely (from 0.6 to 40 Bq/kg {sup 137}Cs). Four depth profiles demonstrated that the cumulative {sup 137}Cs concentration is at least twice the surface value. Mushrooms were collected at three sites during the same sampling period. These samples exhibited varying transfer coefficients among sites with a maximal radiocesium uptake of 100 Bq/kg fresh weight. The radiocesium measurements are among the first reported for the Jerusalem region. Due to tile rather high degree of mobility exhibited in these soils, it is not possible to perform any precise extrapolation in order to estimate the original activity of the radiocesium fallout (authors).
