Ratios Sr/Ca for natural total strontium and 90 Sr/Ca in plants and in the corresponding soil solutions for three experimental lands with the "fuel" ' type of pollution for several plants under natural conditions are determined. These lands with three different types of soil are at the Exclusion Zone of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The obtained experimental results show that the ratio Sr/Ca in plant is equal to this ratio in the corresponding soil solution for all investigated lands and plants. Ratio 90 Sr/Ca in plant exceeds this ratio in the corresponding soil solution. The ratio in the plant has positive correlation with the soil humidity for every experimental land. K e y w o r d s: total strontium; 90 Sr; calcium; transition of strontium to plant; strontiumcalcium ratio; soil solution; ICP-spectrometry; radiochemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
