Description

Neutron activation analysis was applied to determine Arsenic in samples of several kinds of soils collected at two depths, 0-20 and 20-40 cm, and roots and leaves of grasses cultivated on them, to check the end level of Arsenic in leaves that are used in animal feeding. The results showed that Arsenic from limestones, fertilizers and agrochemicals applied to soil, to increase soil fertility, presents remote potential to injure cattle health. (author)
