Abstract

Leaf and aerosol samples were monthly collected in Mt. Sefuri (Fukuoka Prefecture). Radioactivities of ⁷Be, ²¹⁰Pb and ⁴⁰K were determined with gamma-ray spectrometry. The concentrations of some elements in the leaf samples were determined by neutron activation analysis. Similar seasonal variation of ⁷Be and ²¹⁰Pb was observed between leaf and aerosol samples, high in spring and winter and low in summer. Correlation factors for trace elements contained in the leaf show large variations. This indicates that the contribution of two sources (atmospheric deposition and uptake from soil) is very variable.
