摘要

This study presents a assessment of 137Cs activity concentrations in surface soils and food from the state of Acre, Western Amazon, Brazil, and soil-to-plant transfer factors (TF). Soil and food samples (common beans, bananas, cassava, and cassava flour) from six regions were analyzed by HPGe gamma spectrometry. Tfvalues ranged from 0.02 (banana—Cruzeiro do Sul) to 1.88 (banana -Epitaciolandia). Significant relationships were observed between TF and soil parameters (pH, Al, Ca, K), reflecting the influence of soil parameters on radionuclide bioavailability. These findings contribute to the understanding of 137Cs behavior in tropical agroecosystems and provide a regional baseline.
