Stirring for 16 hours at 26 degrees to 35 degrees C of peeled and sliced tubers in a solution consisting of 1.2 percent KCI and 0.16 percent NaCl and containing a cation-exchange resin in the mixed K(+), Na(+) form effected Cs(187) removals exceeding 95 percent. Neither nutritional value nor
Potatoes are an important component of the human diet. In addition to components which determine the nutrition and dietary values, potato tubers also contain anti-nutritional substances, inter alia radioactive elements. Natural and artifical radionuclides are released to the environment as a result
The soil to plant transfer of 137Cs and 90Sr was studied at seven locations in Finland over 4 and 2 years, respectively. The plant/soil concentration ratio of 137Cs for field crops in the southern area (60 degrees-63 degrees N) ranged from 0.001 to 0.26 and in the northern area (64 degrees-67
Isopycnic centrifugation of plant viruses in density gradients prepared from a new non-ionic medium (Nycodenz) was investigated. Particle density of luteo-, tymo-, nepo-, cocksfoot mild mosaic, tobamo-, hordei-like, potex- and potyviruses in buffered solutions of Nycodenz ranged between 1.23 and
The study of staple food products is crucial to assure public safety and provides input for predictive dose assessment models. To further this goal, the activity concentrations, transfer factors, and radiological hazards of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs
