Abstract
The present investigation deals with the distribution of 210Pb radionuclides and their dependence on various physico-chemical parameters of soil, in Virajpet taluk, Coorg District. The samples were analyzed using standard radioanalytical methods for the determination of 210Pb activity. The 210Pb activity varies from 3.59 Bq kg−1 to 44.63 Bq kg−1 in the first layer, 0.79 Bq kg−1 to 22.86 Bq kg−1 in the second layer and 0.88 Bq kg−1 to 16.34 Bq kg−1 in the third layer. A negative correlation was found between 210Pb activity and clay% and also with organic matter%, in all three layers.
