M. Gastberger et al., Fallout strontium and caesium transfer from vegetation to cow milk at two lowland and two Alpine pastures, J ENV RAD, 54(2), 2001, pp. 267-273
Vegetation-to-milk transfer coefficients for Cs-137, Sr-90 and stable stron
tium were determined For cows grazing on two intensively managed lowland pa
stures and two Alpine pastures in Austria. The Sr-90 transfer coefficient a
t the four pastures ranged from 0.0005 to 0.0012 dl(-1) and correlated with
the stable strontium transfer coefficient (0.0006 - 0.0013 dl(-1)) with th
e lower values found on the intensively managed pastures. The Cs-137 transf
er coefficient ranged from 0.0009 - 0.0045 dl(-1). (C) 2001 Elsevier Scienc
