Cryoconite: an efficient accumulator of radioactive fallout in glacial environments [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Cryoconite is rich in natural and artificial radioactivity, but a discussion about its ability to accumulate radionuclides is lacking. A characterization of cryoconite from two Alpine glaciers is presented here.

RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM FALLOUT [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1956 Hazards from /sup 90/Sr deposited in fallout following nuclear explosions are reviewed. Strontium/sup 90/ is of particular interest among the fission products because of chemical similarity to Ca, an average life of about 40 years, and a low rate of skeletal elimination.

Long-Term Consequences of the Chernobyl Radioactive Fallout: An Exploration of the Aggregate Data. [PDF]
Milbank Q, 2018 Policy Points Policymakers should invest more on researching the long-term health effects of low-ionizing radiation exposure, as we are far from reaching a consensus on a topic that is of enormous importance for public health and safety.
