Radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium: two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis
The present nuclear leakage crisis from Japan is a topic to be discussed in present public health. In radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are considered hazard. Here, the author briefly reviews and discusses on two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium. Based on previous similar nuclear crisis in Russia, it ...
متن کاملImproving the scientific foundations for estimating health risks from the Fukushima incident.
T wo articles in PNAS document the estimated release magnitude and distribution of cesium (Cs)-137 from the nuclear power facility incident in Fukushima (1, 2). These papers provide a step forward in developing improved characterizations of the range of environmental contamination of Cs-137 along with an improved framework for estimating exposures to environmental receptors, including forests, ...
متن کاملs . m ed - p h ] 1 1 Fe b 20 01 Extraction of 137 Cs by alcohol - water solvents from plants containing cardiac glycosides
As a result of nuclear power plant accidents, large areas receive radioactive inputs of 137 Cs. This cesium accumulates in herbs growing in such territories. The problem is whether the herbs contaminated by radio-cesium may be used as a raw material for medicine. The answer depends on the amount of 137 Cs transfered from the contaminated raw material to the medicine. We have presented new resul...
متن کاملDetecting residual fluorine 18 from a medical PET-CT procedure during population whole body counter screening in Fukushima.
After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear incident in 2011, radiation contamination of the affected area raised public health concerns about internal radiation exposure. Internal radiation exposure screening using a whole body counter (WBC) (Fastscan Model 2251, Canberra Inc, Meriden, CT) has been performed for the affected residents in Soma City, 40 km north of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power pl...
متن کاملRemoval of cesium through adsorption from aqueous solutions: a systematic review
Cesium radioactive isotopes (134Cs and 137Cs) are dangerous to human health due to their long half-life and high solubility in water. Nuclear experiments, wars, and nuclear plant accidents have been the main sources of Cs release into the environment. In recent years, several methods have been introduced for the elimination of Cs radioactive isotopes from contaminated wate...
