Radiological Assessment of Natural Radionuclides and Soil-to-Plant Transfer Factor of Cowpea Cultivated on a Mining Impacted Soil for the Tropical Ecosystem of Nigeria
Cowpea is one of the critical foods that contributes significantly to the Nigerian food basket, as Nigeria is the largest producer and consumer of cowpea worldwide. In this work, the soil-to-plant transfer factor of 40K, 238U, and 232Th for cowpea plant compartments (root, stem, leaf, and seed) were evaluated. Three pl...
