134Cs foliar contamination of vine: translocation to grapes and transfer to wine
- 1. Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano, Via Emilia Parmense 84, 29100 Piacenza (Italy)
Description
Grape vines growing in pots placed in open field were contaminated by sprinkling an aqueous solution of carrier free 134Cs. Activity was determined in acini and must at the ripening stage. Interception and Translocation Factors (TLF) were quantified. They strictly depend on the state of growth of the crop. Wine was produced by a laboratory process and analysed as to radiocesium. Transfer parameters, Fr and Pe, were calculated to predict radiocesium concentration in wine: it is 0.6 times the activity found in grapes. The leaf fruit translocation seems to be the dominant process in the contamination of acini when compared to direct deposition. (author)
