Description

Sorption and desorption of radionuclides and heavy metals, and gradual extraction from soils were verified. Modified Tessier sequential extraction method was used for determination of physico-chemical forms of radionuclides and heavy metals. From the point of view of metals receipt by root system plants and their appropriate leaching into ground waters, fixed forms of heavy metals and radionuclides are prevailing in soils. As to artificial radionuclides (9Sr, 137Cs) ratio of fixed forms, bound with soil compartments, for 137Cs is higher (black earth - 95 %, sandy soil - 62 %) in comparison with 90Sr. (Author) 2 tabs., 4 figs., 11 refs
