In this work we critically assess the soil-to-plant transfer factors (TF) for 137 Cs and 40 K in
edible fleshy organs of tropical plants that are often components of the human diet …

Determination of radionuclide concentration factor (CF) allows estimating the transfer of
environmental radionuclides and potential risks of consuming fish contaminated with …

We investigated radioactive cesium (Cs) export in stream water during a typhoon flood event
(No. 1204, Guchol) in a small forested headwater catchment (1.2 ha), which was …

Japanese forests were exposed to multiple sources of radioactive contamination. To acquire
scientific guidance on forest management planning, it is crucial to understand the long-term …

Pot and field experiments were conducted to clarify the effect of soil exchangeable
potassium (K) and cesium-137 (137Cs) on 137Cs accumulation and to establish soil index …

The effect of soil exchangeable (plant-available) potassium (ExK) content on cesium (Cs)
absorption and translocation in buckwheat was evaluated in a field contaminated with …

Simulation of the watershed-scale fate and transport of radionuclides is required in order to
predict the consequences of contamination redistribution. Integrated watershed modeling is …

Abstract After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, there has been an
increasing concern regarding the contamination of wild mushrooms with radiocesium (134 …

We found that root endophytes of 137 Cs accumulator plant produce siderophores, resulting
in the desorption of 137 Cs from the contaminated soil collected at Fukushima, Japan. We …

Abstract Large amounts of Cesium-137 (137 Cs, physical half-life ca. 30 years) were
released into the environment from the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant …
