Abstract:
:137Cs and 40K activity concentrations and stable elements have been measured in Clavariadelphus truncatus collected in Mexico. Iron-chelating compounds of siderophore-type was also studied in the species. 137Cs and 40K were determined in soil and mushroom samples with HpGe gamma-ray spectrometry. Macro- and micro-elemental concentrations were determined by XRF and ICP-MS. Siderophore detection was obtained with a colorimetric assay and X-ray diffraction analysis was performed using a Siemens D5000 diffractometer. 137Cs geometric mean concentration in C. truncatus was 26 times higher as compared with other Mexican edible mushroom species, while 40K showed stability. Soil-C. truncatus concentration ratio for 137Cs and other micro-elements such as Cs, Rb and Pb were also higher than other Mexican edible species. The 137Cs committed effective dose due to the ingestion of C. truncatus was 8 x 10(-6) Sv year(-1). The main crystalline structure found in C. truncatus was D-Mannitol.
