“…Additionally, cesium is used in food and drug sterilization processes; in medicine therapies 1 and in many industrial applications such as optical glasses, photoelectric cells 2 or ion propulsion systems. Radioactive cesium represents one of the most toxic elements that can be found in the flora and fauna, 3,4 because it is easily displaced and incorporates in nature due to its high solubility in water, causing detrimental effects to the environment and human health. 5,6 Hence, it is crucial to develop reliable and accurate methods for its detection and/or dosage in order to safeguard workers who are exposed daily to Cs + ensuring harmless uses and also safer working conditions.…”

An innovative novel interface has been designed and developed, in order to be used as a potential active layer in Chem-FET sensor devices for the specific sensing of Cs +. In this study, the synthesis of a specific Cs + probe based calix[4]arene benzocrown ether, its photophysical properties as well as its grafting onto a single lipid monolayer (SLM) recently used as efficient ultrathin organic dielectric in Chem-FETs are reported simultaneously. On the basis of both optical and NMR titration experiments, the probe has shown high selectivity and specificity for Cs + compared to interfering cations, even if an admixture is used. Additionally, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy was successfully used to characterize and prove the efficient grafting of the probe onto a SLM and the formation of the innovative novel sensing layer.

“…Many areas surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, remain highly contaminated with long-lived radiocesium (Cs) since the 2011 tsunami, in particular 137 Cs, which has a half-life of 30 years [12]. 137 Cs is one of the most dangerous radionuclides; it is highly water soluble and has a marked tendency to accumulate in sediment and aquatic organisms [2,27].…”

Distribution of cesium and cationic mineral elements in napiergrass

Napiergrass is fast-growing perennial known for its high potential for accumulation of cesium (Cs). Cs is highly mobile within a plant and can be distributed to various plant organs. Here, we investigated the distribution of cesium-133 (133 Cs) and competitively translocated cationic minerals, such as potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg), in different organs of napiergrass. Treatments comprised four concentrations of 133 Cs applied to soil: 0 (as control); 300; 500; and 1000 μM. Leaf blades contained significantly higher concentrations of 133 Cs than stems under 300 and 500 μM 133 Cs treatments (P < 0.01). Specifically, significantly greater 133 Cs content was measured in younger parts of stems and leaf blades compared with mature or older plant parts.

“…Thus, RCs absorption and translocation appear to be controlled by different mechanisms in wheat, and RCs accumulation in the grain should be analyzed by carefully discriminating between absorption and translocation. The various mechanisms of RCs uptake in relation to K transporters have been reviewed 1,8 , and recently, several possible transporters involved in regulating RCs uptake have been reported 23,24,47 . Kojima et al also detected large variations among rice varieties in RCs translocation from shoot to grain 20 .…”

Decreasing the transfer of radioactive cesium (RCs) from soil to crops has been important since the deposition of RCs in agricultural soil owing to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident of 2011. We investigated the genotypic variation in RCs accumulation in 234 and 198 hexaploid wheat (Triticum spp.) varieties in an affected field in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The effects of soil exchangeable potassium (ExK) content to RCs accumulation in wheat varieties were also evaluated. A test field showed fourfold differences in soil ExK contents based on location, and the wheat varieties grown in areas with lower soil ExK contents tended to have higher grain RCs concentrations. RCs concentrations of shoots, when corrected by the soil ExK content, were positively significantly correlated between years, and RCs concentrations of shoots were significantly correlated with the grain RCs concentration corrected by the soil ExK content. These results indicated that there were genotypic variations in RCs accumulation. The grain to shoot ratio of RCs also showed significant genotypic variation. Wheat varieties with low RCs accumulations were identified. They could contribute to the research and breeding of low RCs accumulating wheat and to agricultural production in the area affected by RCs deposition. Radioactive cesium (RCs) isotopes 134 Cs and 137 Cs, which can be incorporated into the food chain, becoming a threat to human health 1 , are two of the major radionuclides released by the accident at the Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Dai-ichi (No. 1) nuclear power plant (TEPCO's FDNPP), caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami on 11 March 2011 2. They dispersed into the environment, including agricultural land in eastern Japan, leading to concerns regarding the contamination of food with radioactive materials and their effects on human health. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare established a provisional maximum regulatory value for RCs in agricultural products at 500 Bq kg −1 on 17 March 2011. This was changed to 100 Bq kg −1 on 1 April 2012 3. Although incidents of RCs contamination greater than the regulatory value in agricultural products have been limited 4 , the radioactivity monitoring of agricultural products has continued in the affected areas because of the relatively long half-life (30.2 years) of 137 Cs. Studies and countermeasures to decrease RCs in agricultural products have been important in allowing the resumption of agricultural practices in the areas affected by RCs.
