Polonium halos

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1980
I welcome York's contribution [York, 1979] to the exchange of views concerning the possible existence and potential cosmological implications of polonium halos in Precambrian granites [Damon, 1979; Gentry, 1979], but I must take exception to some omissions from his comments about my results on Po halos.York seems to regard even the existence of Po ...

Health Risk Evaluations for Ingestion Exposure of Humans to Polonium-210

open access: yesDose-Response, 2007
The incident in London during November 2006 involving a lethal intake by Mr. Alexander Litvinenko of the highly-radioactive, alpha-particles-emitting polonium-210 (Po-210) isotope, presumably via ingestion, sparked renewed interest in the area of Po-210 ...

Assessment of Polonium-210 concentration and annual committed effective dose in edible muscle tissue of blue swimmer crab (portunus armatus), prawn (Penaeus monodon), shrimp (farfantepenaeus notialis), and crayfish (procambarus clarkii) from the deep sea of Sangana, Niger Delta, Nigeria

open access: yesFood Safety and Risk
This study investigated the activity concentration of Polonium-210 (210Po) in the edible tissues of Portunus armatus (blue swimmer crab), Penaeus monodon (prawn), Farfantepenaeus notialis (shrimp), and Procambarus clarkii (crayfish) harvested from the ...

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

open access: yesمجله 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.

Study of radioactive decay process of uranium atoms via fractals-fractional analysis

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Chemical Engineering

On the phases of Polonium

open access: yes, 2009
The thermodynamical properties of the main phases of metallic polonium are examined using Density Functional Theory. The exceptional nature of the solid-solid phase transition of $α$ to $β$ Po is underlined: it induces a lowering in symmetry, from cubic to rhombohedral, with increasing temperature.
