Determination and distribution of 210Pb in plants using Liquid Scintillation Counting.

This study presented the determination and distribution of 210Pb in plants using Liquid Scintillation Counting. The analysis method of 210Pb in plants has been improved by optimizing the pulse shape analysis setup,constructing quenched correction curves, as well as consideration of the counting from both 210Pb and its progeny 210Bi. This method was used to test for the determination of 210Pb in samples of three species collected from two sites around a uranium mining facility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
