Natural radionuclides activity concentrations of 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K in soil and grass samples, statistical analysis of these radionuclides, and transfer factors (TFs) from soil to the grass were carried out from phosphate mining and processing sites in southern areas of Togo using gamma-ray spectrometry-based high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K were found within the range usually measured worldwide. Statistical analysis was done by investigating the skewness, the kurtosis, and the density distribution of radionuclides in the study areas. Both skewness and kurtosis displayed that the activity concentrations of soil and grass samples in the discharge waste site (Kpémé) and mining site (Hahotoé) exhibited slightly positively skewed, negatively skewed, leptokurtic, and platykurtic distributions. The TFs for 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K from discharge waste soil to grass were evaluated. The average transfer factors of 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K in the phosphate processing area were found to be 0.16, 0.32, and 8.42, respectively. 226Ra and 228Ra TFs values were found to be within the limit of worldwide measure values, while that of 40K was found to be larger than the values measured in other countries. The average TF value of 8.42 for 40K was eight times higher than the average value of unity, showing its large intake by vegetables. The high TFs for 40K could be explained by the extensive application of phosphate fertilizers to soils when growing vegetables.

多哥沿海地区磷酸盐开采和加工场地土壤中天然存在的放射性核素从土壤到草地的转移和统计分析

土壤和草样中天然放射性核素的活度浓度为226 Ra、228 Ra 和40 K,对这些放射性核素的统计分析以及从土壤到草的转移因子(TFs)是从南方地区的磷矿开采和加工场地进行的。多哥使用基于伽马射线光谱的高纯锗 (HPGe) 探测器。平均活性浓度为226 Ra、228 Ra 和40K 是在全球范围内通常测量的范围内发现的。通过调查研究区放射性核素的偏度、峰度和密度分布进行统计分析。偏度和峰度均表明,排放废物场 (Kpémé) 和采矿场 (Hahotoé) 的土壤和草样品的活性浓度呈现出轻微的正偏斜、负偏斜、leptokurtic 和 platykurtic 分布。评估了从排放废土到草地的226 Ra、228 Ra 和40 K的 TF 。磷酸盐加工区226 Ra、228 Ra 和40 K的平均转移因子分别为 0.16、0.32 和 8.42。发现 226 Ra 和228 Ra TFs 值在全球测量值的范围内,而发现40 K 的值大于其他国家的测量值。40K的平均TF值为8.42,是unity平均值的8倍,说明其蔬菜摄入量大。40 K的高 TF可以解释为在种植蔬菜时对土壤广泛施用磷肥。
