Description
In a general study on the consequences of radioactive and chemical releases in continental waters, flooded rice fields must be considered as a very important ecosystem due to the very large quantities of water used. In order to approach as much as possible to the natural conditions (irrigated rice fields of Northern Italy) ''mini-rice fields'' were built and local practices were respected. The behavior of activation and fission products (137Cs, 60Co, 65Zn, 51Cr...) and heavy metals pollutants (Cd, Cr, Sn) was studied and the transfer from water to soil and plant was followed. Concentration factors were calculated for the different organs of the plant and the impact of rice ingested to the dose delivered to man was evaluated
Abstract (French)
Les rizières irriguées par submersion constituent, en raison des quantités énormes d'eau utilisées, des écosystèmes particulièrement importants à envisager dans le cadre des recherches sur les conséquences de rejets d'effluents liquides, industriels ou radioactifs, dans les eaux continentales.Additional details
