Abstract

Soil pollution by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and radionuclides, such as ¹³⁷Cs, poses environmental and health risks, particularly in areas affected by nuclear accidents. This study evaluates PTE and ¹³⁷Cs concentrations in soil from the Polesie State Radiation and Ecological Reserve in Belarus, a region impacted by the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Soil samples (0–5 cm and 5–20 cm depths) were analyzed using ICP-OES, a direct mercury analyzer, and gamma spectrometry. While PTE levels were below background thresholds, ¹³⁷Cs activity in topsoil (up to 117,947 Bq/kg) far exceeded global averages, underscoring the enduring legacy of Chernobyl contamination and the need for continued monitoring and remediation efforts.

白俄罗斯波列西国家辐射和生态保护区中潜在有毒重元素和137Cs的评估

潜在有毒元素（pte）和放射性核素（如137Cs）污染土壤，造成环境和健康风险，特别是在受核事故影响的地区。本研究评估了白俄罗斯波列西国家辐射和生态保护区土壤中PTE和137Cs的浓度，该地区受到1986年切尔诺贝利灾难的影响。土壤样品（0-5 cm和5-20 cm深度）使用ICP-OES，直接汞分析仪和伽马能谱分析。虽然PTE水平低于背景阈值，但表土中的137Cs活性（高达117,947 Bq/kg）远远超过全球平均水平，强调了切尔诺贝利污染的持久遗产以及继续监测和补救工作的必要性。
