Assessment of Radionuclide Contents in Medicinal Plant Raw Material of the Central Black-Earth Belt and their Influence on Accumulation of Biologically Active Compounds

  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

Pollution of top soil layers and medicinal plant raw material in Voronezh Region by artificial and natural radionuclides was analyzed using common dandelion roots as an example. Common dandelion roots accumulated effectively strontium-90 and radium-226. The correlation coefficients between the radionuclide contents and water-extractable compounds, in particular, polysaccharides, showed that the accumulated radionuclides probably did not have a noticeable impact on the content of biologically active compounds in the roots because of their insignificant amounts.
