Article Synopsis
- Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product from phosphate fertilizer production, used to reduce sodium saturation in reclaimed marsh soils in southwestern Spain, where it shows specific radioactivity levels of (226)Ra and (238)U.
- A three-year field experiment found no significant difference in radioactive enrichment in reclaimed soils with two PG applications compared to non-amended soils, but a notable enrichment of (226)Ra was seen at the surface of reclaimed soils.
- Analysis of tomato fruits from farms with varying PG application rates showed higher cadmium concentrations, positively correlated with (226)Ra levels in the soil, indicating potential risks associated with long-term PG use in agriculture.
