Description

A study was carried out to establish a baseline data for the Be/sup 7/ concentration in the vegetation samples in southern Punjab. Concentration of Be/sup 7/ in the vegetation samples collected from southern Punjab has been determined by a low background High Purity Germanium [Hp(Ge)] detector, using a PC based Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) and a commercial software Genie-2000 for the analyses of gamma spectra. Be/sup 7/ activity ranged from 4.6 + 0.1 to 11.8 + 0.2 Bq.kg/sup -1/ in the vegetation samples. The results have been compared with Morocco and Belgium. (author)
