Analysis of Radon‐222 in Surface and Groundwater Sources in Kajiado County, Kenya

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study entailed measurement of the concentration of 222Rn in surface and subsurface water sources from Kajiado Municipality in Kenya. Kajiado County receives minimal rainfall and is not well covered by the municipal treated water network. The residents of the area mainly rely on subsurface water sources for their domestic consumption.

Activity Levels of Polonium-210 in Tobacco and Cigarette in Iran [PDF]

مجله علوم و فنون هسته‌ای, 2011
Polonium-210 (210Po) is a natural contaminant of tobacco and its products. Due to its volatility and inherent adsorption properties, 210Po is one of the major potential sources of human exposure through smoking.

An absorbed dose‐based source strength determination for diffusing alpha‐emitters radiation therapy (DaRT) brachytherapy seeds – Proof of concept

Medical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Background Diffusing alpha‐emitter radiation therapy (DaRT) is currently being evaluated in several clinical trials as an interstitial temporary brachytherapy source. However, determining source strength solely based on gamma spectrometry measurements of 224Ra activity has limitations. This method does not account for changes in the desorption

Flood‐Driven Turbidite Deposition in a Highstand‐Detached Submarine Canyon

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Turbidites on active margins represent key archives of great earthquakes, yet turbidity currents triggered by non‐seismic events complicate paleoearthquake records and influence geochemical budgets. Sediment cores collected from highstand‐detached Astoria Canyon address whether non‐seismic turbidity currents are preserved in canyon ...

Application of Gas‐Phase Electrophoresis (nES GEMMA Instrumentation) in Molecular Weight Determination

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 60, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Gas‐phase electrophoresis by means of a nano‐Electrospray Gas‐phase Electrophoretic Mobility Molecular Analyzer (nES GEMMA, also known as e.g., nES DMA, MacroIMS, or LiquiScan ES) separates singly charged, aerosolized (bio‐)nanoparticles at ambient pressure in the gas phase according to the particle electrophoretic mobility (EM) diameter, i.e.,

The Radiological Impact of 210Pb and 210Po Released from the Iron- and Steel-Making Plant ILVA in Taranto (Italy) on the Environment and the Public

Journal of Chemistry, 2013
Lead-210 and 210Po are naturally occurring radionuclides. Due to volatile characteristic of lead and polonium, environmental pollution of 210Pb and 210Po released from the coal power plant, steel-making industry and refractory material industry has been ...

Contrasting Effects of Road Dust and Atmospheric Dust on Carbon Accumulation in Eastern Canadian Ombrotrophic Peatlands

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Limited research has been conducted on the role of atmospheric dust as a nutrient source for peatlands, and none has studied the effects of localized and intense road dust on peatland carbon (C) accumulation. To compare the effects of dust deposition from these two sources on peatlands, we examined three ombrotrophic peatlands adjacent to ...
