Concentration of radioactive elements (U, Th and K) derived from phosphatic fertilizers in cultivated soils

Gamma spectrometric measurements were obtained for the agricultural soils aiming at characterizing the spatial distribution of radionuclide concentrations (K, eU and eTh), as well for the samples of phosphatic fertilizers and agricultural gypsum. In the study areas, three types of soils occured: Eut...
