There is a growing interest in long-lived I-129 (half-life: 1.6x107y), particularly regarding the operation of nuclear fuel reprocessing plant. In order to obtain information on the transfer of I-129 and stable iodine in the environment we have carried out laboratory experiments using radioiodine tracer and chemical analysis by ICP-MS. Special attention has been paid to the chemical species of iodine and the effects of microorganisms. In this paper, we summarize our recent investigations on the behavior of iodine in the terrestrial environment as follows. (1) deposition of iodine from the atmosphere onto plants; (2) sorption and desorption phenomena of iodine in soil; (3) transfer of iodine from soil to plants; (4) volatilization of iodine from the soil plant system; and (5) production of methyl iodide by bacterial activities., ECORAD-2001}, title = {Behavior of iodine in the soil-plant system.}, year = {2001} }
