RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT

Radioactive fallout and neural tube defects

Radioactive fallout; Chernobyl; Fukushima; Neural tube defects; Anencephaly; Spina bifida Abstract Possible link between radioactivity and the occurrence of neural tube defects is a long lasting debate since the Chernobyl nuclear fallout in 1986. A recent report on the incidence of neural defects in the west coast of USA, following Fukushima disaster, brought another evidence for effect of radi...

Estimation of the Adriatic sea water turnover time using fallout 90 Sr as a radioactive tracer

Systematic, long term measurements, starting in 1963, of Sr activity concentrations in sea water have been performed at four locations (cities of Rovinj, Rijeka, Split and Dubrovnik) along the Croatian coast of the Adriatic sea. In addition, fallout samples were collected in the city of Zadar. Sr activity concentrations are in good correlation with the fallout activity, the coefficient of corre...
