probably by foliar contamination in plants, and
the fraction absorbed is very smail. Surface contamination of plants is probably the main source
mammals,
In aquatic systems adsorption and
the ingestion of particulate matter are of major
importance, Due to its availability, half-life,
and ability to form complexes and colloids, zirconium-95 should be particularly useful aa a tracer
in biological studies of aquatic systems.
