Abstract
Naturally-occurring radionuclides, such as those of the uranium and thorium series, as well as artificial radionuclides, are accumulated in plants generally in low concentrations. Summer vegetation fires release these natural and man-made radionuclides into the atmosphere. Concentrations of uranium isotopes 238 U, 235 U, 234 U, 232 Th, 230 Th, 226 Ra, 210 Pb and
