An Approach to Investigations of the Behaviour of Iodine-129 in the Atmosphere-soil-plant System

Abstract: Iodine-129 is presently one of the chief contributors to air pollution around nuclear installations because of its radioactive half-life (1.72 x lo7 yr) rather than on account of the amounts released. Just as with iodine-131, it is released into the atmosphere under many chemical forms (Ta71). However, ' ' ' 1 reaches man through several food chains and not only through the air-grass-cow-milk food chain. The values of its deposition rate on soil and plants are fairly dispersed because of its changing reactivit… Show more

“…A substantial variability of iodine concentrations was observed in all trees. The specific role of iodine in wood is not known, but it is assumed that trees derive their iodine from several sources: soil, deposition to leaves from rain or dryfall, and recycling of leaf litter ( , ). This variability could reflect changes in the availability of soil or atmospheric iodine or, perhaps more likely, changes in the uptake of iodine dependent on the growth pattern in a specific year.…”

“…Des investigations expérimentales (Saas et Grauby, 1976 ;Whitehead, 1979 ;Wildung et al, 1985 ; ont permis de différencier le rôle joué par le sol luimême de celui de la végétation. L'iode dégazé de l'ensemble sol -plante proviendrait pour 80 % des plantes alors que l'iode émis par un sol nu serait en presque totalité sous forme organique.…”

“…A cet effet, le montage prévoit la production d'air ne contenant ni iode, ni gaz carbonique. Le premier piège est destiné à retenir l'iode atmosphérique; Deux types de réaction se produisent : [1] CO2 + 2NaOH → Na2CO3 + H2O, [2] I2 + NaOH → NaI + IOH, 3IOH + 3 NaOH → NaIO3 + 2 NaI + 3H2O, ICH3 + C2H5ONa → C2H5OCH3 + NaI, Il est donc possible de doser le volume de gaz carbonique produit et la quantité d'iode dégazé. l'atmosphère et les formes physico-chimiques produites.…”

“…Il va sans dire que l'absorption de l'iode ainsi volatilisé sera fonction de la forme physico-chimique. Une expérimentation plus appro fondie [2] nous a permis de tirer des conclusions intéressantes pour le cycle de l'iode à vie longue, notamment en ce qui concerne l'absorption foliaire et l'évolution de l'iode d'origine atmosphérique dans le sol.…”
