Transfer of 40K, 226Ra and 210Pb from soil to plants in various locations of El-Jadida agricultural area (north-western Morocco)

The present study examines the radionuclides (40K, 226Ra and 210Pb) concentrations in soil and plants collected from El Jadida agricultural area. The transfer factors of radionuclides from the soil to different components of the plants (stems, roots, leaves, and fruits) was also determined and asses...
