Article Synopsis
- Soil-to-plant transfer factor (TF) evaluates how soil radioactivity affects crops, focusing on the cassava plant, a major food source in Sub-Saharan Africa and South America.
- Measurement of uranium (U), thorium (Th), and potassium (K) concentrations in cassava roots and soil was conducted using γ-ray analysis.
- The results showed TF values ranging from 0.06-0.12 for U, 0.01-0.10 for Th, and 0.04-0.28 for K, with median values of 0.10, 0.04, and 0.08, respectively, indicating low transfer rates for these elements.
