Transfer Factors of Radionuclides in the Herbal Gardens in Myanmar Khin Lae Aye The activity concentration of radionuclides in soil and plant was measured in this research with the aim of determining the transfer factors of radionuclides from soil to plant collected from Herbal gardens in Myanmar. Plant and corresponding soil samples were collected from three different gardens of Sae Pauk herbal garden at Kyauk Pa Daung Township and National herbal garden (Nay Pyi Taw) at Pyin Ma Na Township, Hpaung Taw herbal garden at Pyin Oo Lwin Township. The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides 238U series, 232Th series and 40K were measured using gamma ray spectrometry. Soils of Hpaung Taw herbal garden contained more 238U series than Sae Pauk herbal garden and National herbal garden, whereas soils of Sae Pauk herbal garden contained more 232Th series than National herbal garden and Hpaung Taw herbal garden. Soils of National herbal garden contained more 40K than Sae Pauk herbal garden and Hpaung Taw herbal garden. The soil to plant transfer factors for 40K was found to be much higher in plants, which might be due to the essentiality of element in plants. 2019 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000455 https://meral.edu.mm/records/455
