Investigation of the Pathway of Contaminated Soil Transported to Plant Surfaces by Raindrop Splash

摘要

The environmental transport pathway of soil-borne radioisotopes to vegetation surfaces via raindrop splash was studied. The data show that soil can significantly contribute to the contamination found on plants. Further detailed study is needed to calculate the rate constant for the raindrop splash and retention pathways. 8 references, 1 figure. (ERA citation 09:020813)
