Description
An aerosol exposure equipment was developed in order to investigate foliar uptake-translocation of radionuclides in plant. Fine and misty radioactive aerosol was generated by using an ultrasonic viblator and introduced into an exposure vessel, in which a piece of plant leaf was exposed. The radioactive mist was completely trapped by main and back up filters. Foliar uptake-translocation of 60Co in bell pepper plant was studied by using the equipment. Three days after exposure the exposed leaf of the plant was washed with water. About 70% of the deposited activities was removed by washing. Only 0.5% was found in the fruit. (author)
