Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Interaction Between Radon, Air Ions, and Ultrafine Particles Under Contrasting Atmospheric Conditions in Belgrade, Serbia

Atmosphere
Radon’s radioactive decay is the main natural source of small air ions near the ground. Its exhalation from soil is affected by meteorological factors, while aerosol pollution reduces air ion concentrations through ion-particle attachment.

Joint effects of elevated copper and temperature in juvenile Tambaqui exposed in black and white waters of the Amazon

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to investigate how exposure to elevated water temperature and metal concentration jointly affect the physiology of Amazonian fish. Aboard a research vessel in the Amazon, we evaluated the effects of water temperature (river T°C at 31.5°C and a + 4°C increase to 35.5°C) and of 3‐h copper (Cu) exposure (up to 600 μg/L) in ...
