Modelling dispersion of radioactive aerosols and occupational dose assessment of workers in a large nuclear plant industrial workshop with a stratified air conditioning system

, 2020
Numerical simulations of radioactive aerosols dispersion were conducted to determine the potential radiation hazard on occupants due to radioactive aerosols emitted from the workbench in a large nuclear plant industrial workshop with a stratified air ...

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 ...

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.

Natural Radioactivity (Radon-222) and Air Pollution Measurements in Washington, D. C.

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1966
Abstract Atmospheric concentrations of radon (Rn222) were measured at urban, suburban and rural sites in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area during a stagnant weather regime in mid August 1965. An analysis of air quality data, radon concentrations and meteorology indicates that the stagnant weather conditions which lead to the accumulation of smoke,

Airborne 210Pb, Si, Zn and Pb as tracers for atmospheric pollution in Helsinki metropolitan area.

Applied Radiation and Isotopes
This study analyzed 16070 daily and 608 weekly air filter samples from the Helsinki metropolitan area collected between 1962 and 2005. The aim was to use the Potential Source Contribution Function (PSCF) to determine potential sources of silicon (Si ...

Effect of air pollution on element profile and radioactive compounds in six tree species

2021
Variation in macro and micronutrients and radioactivities (238U, 232Th, 137Cs, and 40K) due to air pollution was studied using six tree species: maple (Acer negundo), cypress (Cupressus arizonica) ash-tree (Fraxinus excelsior), pine (Pinus nigra), plane tree (Platanus orientalis), and poplar (Populus nigra). Tree leaf samples were collected in 2016 and

Variations of stable (2H, 18O) and radioactive isotopes (3H, 14C) and chemical pollutants in air and precipitation

2000
In this paper we present our measurements of isotope concentrations (2H, 18O and 3H) in precipitation and 14C activity in atmospheric CO2, as well as concentrations of chemical pollutants (sulfur and nitrogen compounds) in precipitation and in air at two sites having different characteristics (Grič station in the Zagreb city area and the mountain ...
