Wastewaters contain not only organic matter and other nutrients but also heavy metals, which contribute to soil pollution and their further accumulation in vegetables. For this reason, a laboratory experiment was performed to assess zinc accumulation and translocation in the following chain: industrial effluents–soil–parts of radish (<i>Raphanus sativus</i> L.). The industrial effluents contained zinc in a concentration similar to its maximum permissible level in irrigation water (Effluent 1) and about 40 times higher than the established level (Effluent 2). Zinc concentrations in effluents, soil, and radish were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The contamination factor, bioconcentration factor, translocation factor, and estimated daily intake of zinc were calculated. The antioxidant activity and the phenol content in radish biomass were also determined. The levels of zinc in different parts of radish ranged between 37.76 and 588 mg/kg dry weight and followed the order: non-edible roots of radish ≥ leaves ≥ edible roots. Zinc content in the edible and non-edible parts of radish irrigated with Effluent 2 was up to 5 times higher than the maximum permissible value of 117 mg/kg dry weight established by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The values of bioconcentration factors varied from 0.33 to 2.44 for radish roots, and the maximum bioaccumulation capacity was revealed for the control plants.

Maslov","doi":"10.1134/S1547477124701504","DOIUrl":"10.1134/S1547477124701504","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The angular anisotropy of secondary neutrons in neutron emission spectra (NES) of even–even and even–odd target nuclei and in observed prompt fission neutron spectra (PFNS) of the even–odd ²³⁹Pu and ²³⁵U target nuclei is caused by the preequilibrium emission of neutrons in the reaction (<i>n</i>, <i>nX</i>)¹ and its effect on the prefission neutron spectrum from (<i>n</i>, <i>xnf</i>) reactions. In the case of PFNS, the average energy of (<i>n</i>, <i>nf</i>)¹ neutrons depends on the angle of emission with respect to the incident neutron beam θ; consequently, the fission cross section, the average number of prompt fission neutrons (PFN), and the total kinetic energy (TKE) of fission fragments also depend on θ. High sensitivity to emission of (<i>n</i>, <i>xnf</i>)¹ neutrons in the forward and backward hemispheres is predicted for the reaction ²³³U(<i>n</i>, <i>F</i>). Exclusive prefission neutron spectra from reactions ²³³U(<i>n</i>, <i>xnf</i>)^{1,...<i>x</i>} and exclusive neutron spectra from (<i>n</i>, <i>n</i>γ) and (<i>n</i>, <i>xn</i>)^{1,...<i>x</i>} are calculated within the Hauser–Feshbach formalism together with the cross sections for the (<i>n,F</i>) and (<i>n,хn</i>) reactions with allowance for the angular dependence of the first neutron emission <span>(omega (theta ))</span> in ²³³U(<i>n</i>, <i>nX</i>)¹. Calculated exclusive neutron spectra of ²³³U(<i>n</i>, <i>xnf</i>)^{1,...<i>x</i>} for θ ~ 90° agree with the consistent description of the observed ^{233, 232}U(<i>n</i>, <i>F</i>) fission cross sections for neutrons with an energy of <i>E</i>_<i>n</i> ~ 0.01–20 MeV. An approximation of the angular PFNS anisotropy <span>(omega (theta ))</span> obtained for ²³⁹Pu(<i>n</i>, <i>F</i>) and ²³⁵U(<i>n</i>, <i>F</i>) allows correlating the angular anisotropy of ²³³U(<i>n</i>, <i>xnf</i>)¹ neutrons with the contribution of the ²³³U(<i>n</i>, <i>xnf</i>) emission fission to the observed ²³³U(<i>n</i>, <i>F</i>) fission cross section.
