The transfer of 137Cs from soil to plants
Abstract Radioactive clouds from the atmospheric release due to the reactor accident at Chernobyl reached Iraq on 5 May 1986. Considerable rainfall in the northern part of the country caused a ground surface contamination. Exposure rate measurements were used to select four farms in that region which gave the highest exposure rates due to Chernobyl fall-out. Gamma spectrometric analysis of fresh plants and dry soil samples was used to estimate the transfer factors of 137Cs from soil to some agriculture products. The transfer factors of 137Cs from soil to garlic, potato, celery, carrot, turnip, radish, wheat, barley, pomegranate, fig, green beans, lentil, and chick-pea were calculated as 0.0782, 0.0139, 0.0782, 0.0456, 0.11, 0.0333, 0.0622, 0.0253, 0.0224, 0.0257, 0.11, 0.0083, and 0.11, respectively.
