ABSTRACT
Transfer factors are the most important parameters required for mathematical modeling used for environmental impact assessment of radioactive contamination in the environment. In this paper soil to leaf transfer factor for the radionuclides 4°K, ²²6Ra, ¹³7Cs and 9°Sr is estimated for Kaiga region in Karnataka state, India. Among the plants in which study is carried out, ²²6Ra, 4°K, ¹³7Cs and 9°Sr activity in leaves of herbaceous plants is higher than that of tree leaves. Soil to leaf transfer factor for ²²6Ra, 4°K, ¹³7Cs and 9°Sr was found to be in the range of 0.03-0.65, 0.32-8.04, 0.05-3.03 and 0.42-2.67 respectively.
