Transfer factors (TF) of 134Cs to olive and citrus trees grown on two different soils, were determined for a 3-year greenhouse experiment. Two- year-old trees were transplanted with their entire rootball into large pots containing the contaminated soil (110 kg pot-1). The soil was transferred to each pot in layers on the top of which 134Cs as CsCl was dripped (18.5 MBq pot-1). For both evergreen trees, soil type significantly influenced radiocaesium transfer. 134Cs concentration was lower for the calcareous- heavy soil than for the acid-light soil. Transfer factors of orange trees were higher than those of olive trees in the acid-light soil. Although a significant amount of 134Cs was measured in olives grown on the acid- light soil, no 134Cs was detected in the unprocessed olive oil when an oil fraction (5% f.w.) was extracted. On the contrary the edible part of the oranges showed the highest 134Cs concentration of all plant parts. The relationship between 134Cs uptake and potassium content in the different plant compartments was also studied when selected trees were cut down. The potassium concentration in the plants was not significantly different between the trees growing in the two types of soil in spite of the big differences in the 134Cs uptake in the two soils. TF values and potassium content in the different plant compartments of each tree were highly correlated. For both crops transfer factors as well as potassium content were the highest in the developing plant parts (new leaves and branches, flowers). The transfer factors of 134Cs for the studied trees are in the same order of magnitude as the values of annual crops grown under similar conditions. |
