Surficial redistribution of fallout ¹³¹iodine in a small temperate catchment.
Isotopes of iodine play significant environmental roles, including a limiting micronutrient ((127)I), an acute radiotoxin ((131)I), and a geochemical tracer ((129)I). But the cycling of iodine through terrestrial ecosystems is poorly understood, due to its complex environmental chemistry and low natural abundance. To better understand iodine transport and fate in a terrestrial ecosystem, we tra...
متن کاملUsing 137Cs Technique to Investigate Soil Redistribution Rates by Portable HPGe (Case Studies, Kachik Paired Subcatchments)
137Cs technique for determining soil particles redistribution is of tremendous importance considered by most soil and water conservation experts. Due to time and monetary limitations for spectrometry in the lab, a portable High Pure Germanium Detector was used in this study. For this, Kachik paired subcatchments were chosen and 60 positions in each subcatchment were used for spectrometry analys...
متن کامل137Cs in soil and fallout around Zagreb (Croatia) at the time of the Fukushima accident.
This paper addresses the noticeable increase of 137Cs activity concentrations in soil and fallout in the area surrounding Zagreb (Croatia) that occurred at the time of the 2011 Fukushima accident. This topic is important for public health as 137Cs is highly toxic due to its long half-life of radioactive decay and chemical similarity to potassium. 137Cs concentrations in fallout were much greate...
متن کاملGeographical trends in 137Cs fallout from the Chernobyl accident and leaching from natural surface soil in Norway.
In order to follow the turnover of (137)Cs in natural soils and estimate future trends in exposure of livestock, samples of natural surface soils were collected at 0-3 cm depth at 464 sites in 1995 and 463 sites in 2005 covering the country. In both cases the geographical pattern observed was similar to the original distribution from 1986, but the decline of (137)Cs activity in the surface soil...
متن کاملMonthly and annual effective infiltration coefficients in Dinaric karst: example of the Gradole karst spring catchment
The problems and present methods for the calculation of monthly and annual effective infiltration coefficients in Dinaric karst catchments which cover areas smaller than 200 km are discussed. An example is given of the catchment of the Gradole karst spring, which covers 114 km. The climate on the catchment is North Mediterranean, with average annual rainfall of 986 mm, average air temperature o...
