Abstract
Various types of soil samples were collected in the southern part of Brazil, with depth intervals of 5 cm, down to 50 cm, using a specially designed sampler. Pedological analysis of these soils were performed. Nuclear activities of137Cs (expressed in Bq m−2) and radioactive natural element (226Ra,228Ra and40K) concentrations were determined by low background gamma-ray spectrometry.137Cs concentrations were correlated with radioactive natural element concentrations and pedological, climatological and geographic parameters related to the soil samples collected.
