Abstract

Instrument neutron-activation, x-ray fluorescence, atomic-absorption analysis, and γ spectrometry are used to determine the elemental composition and radioactivity of more than 700 samples of sedimentary rocks, soil, and plants in Uzbekistan. The fluctuations and average content of the elements in the types of samples investigated and the concentration and character of the vertical migration of technogenic 137Cs and cosmogenic 7Bi in soil from various sites are determined.
