Radioactive Aerosols as an Index of Air Pollution in the City of Thessaloniki, Greece

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
This study summarizes results of an investigation done in order to find out how the radioactive aerosols of 7Be could serve as indicators of air pollution conditions. Beryllium‐7 is a cosmic‐ray produced radionuclide with an important fraction of its production to take place in the upper troposphere.

Measurement of alpha radioactive air pollutants in fly ash brick dwellings

Radiation Measurements, 2003
Abstract The exposure of population to high concentrations of radon and its daughters for a long period lead to pathological effects like the respiratory functional changes and the occurrence of lung cancer. In the present study indoor radon monitoring has been carried out in fly ash brick dwellings in some villages/towns of district Faridabad ...

The GIS-based SafeAirView software for the concentration assessment of radioactive pollutants after an accidental release.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2007
The European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra (Italy) has long been running nuclear installations for research purposes. The Nuclear Decommissioning and Facilities Management Unit (NDFM) is responsible for the surveillance of radioactivity

Experimental study of backflow air leakage through an opening from a depressurized enclosure

Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 2022
In nuclear decommissioning and dismantling operations, a dynamic confinement is applied to all openings in order to prevent the transfer of pollutants outside depressurized enclosures and to insure the safety of workers. To guarantee an efficient dynamic

Radioactive dispersion in groundwater resulting from postulated accident at a proposed nuclear power plant, northwestern coast of Egypt

, 2020
Egypt announced a nuclear power program to secure and diversify the country's energy supply. The radiation risks to workers, public and to the environment that may arise from these applications have to be assessed and if necessary, controlled.

Specific features of the ionization of atmospheric air resulting from radioactive pollution

Technical Physics, 2000
Specific features of inhomogeneous ionization resulting from radioactive pollution in the lower atmosphere are investigated. A model of track ionization of air is proposed that allows for such elementary processes as kinetics, molecular diffusion, and drift of ions in an electric field. The applicability limits of the model are determined.

A Discussion on recent research in air pollution - Interhemispheric transfer of radioactive pollution from nuclear explosions

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1969
Abstract By using a simple model of the atmosphere, having two compartments, it is possible to derive expressions for the fission product reservoirs of the northern and southern hemispheres as functions of the gross rate of exchange between hemispheres, and the fallout rate.
