Assessment of air pollution distribution from radioactive sources and its impact on human health [PDF]
The paper assesses the concentration of gas aerosols produced as a result of radioactive sources emission. A Gaussian diffusion model is used for calculation of the particle concentration, and the Cs137 isotope is taken as an example of the particles.
