title: RADIUM-226 AND POLONIUM-210 IN LEAF TOBACCO AND TOBACCO SOIL.
abstract: Contents of radium-226 and polonium-210 in leaf tobacco and tobacco-growing soils vary with the source. The differences may result from production locality, culture, and curing. The polonium seems to be not entirely derived from the radium; plants probably take it up from the soil or air.
