Potential of Soils Natural Sorbents for Environmental Decontamination From 137Cs
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 779-789, 30 January 2026.ABSTRACT This study addresses the existing research gap concerning the lack of integrated data on the role of in situ soil components in the long‐term fixation of 137Cs under natural, protected, and non‐agricultural conditions. The contamination of ecosystems by radioactive isotopes, particularly 137Cs, represents a considerable environmental hazard ...

Actinides, accelerators and erosion
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Fallout isotopes can be used as artificial tracers of soil erosion and sediment accumulation. The most commonly used isotope to date has been 137Cs. Concentrations of 137Cs are, however, significantly lower in the Southern Hemisphere, and furthermore ...

Left High and Dry: Deep Soil Water Depletion and Ecohydrological Resilience on China's Loess Plateau
WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Deep‐rooted vegetation on China's Loess Plateau taps decades‐old “legacy” water stored in the deep vadose zone. The schematic illustrates how rooting depth controls access to shallow versus deep soil moisture, the role of preferential flow in rare deep‐recharge events, and the progressive depletion of deep soil water as afforested stands age. The inset

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA) has long been an energy extractive periphery, continuously remade through cycles of dispossession and accumulation. Here we examine the changing dynamics of private property in these cycles and its central role in the latest phase of extraction—unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD).

Радиационная гигиена, 2017 The present work is devoted to an analysis of the data on dynamics of 137Cs and 90Sr transfer factors in the most critical (during different time periods after the radioactive fallout) links of the food chain that are necessary for assessing current ...

Antarctic Record, 1975 The radioactive nuclides in human body are roughly classified into two categories. The one is naturally existed radioactive nuclides, and the other is radioactive nuclides of fallout from the nuclear fission of a large scale such as tests of nuclear ...

Respatializing Toxic Harm: The Case Against Sacrifice Zones
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Describing heavily polluted areas as “sacrifice zones” has become commonplace in recent decades, as diverse groups resist their unwitting exposure to destructive and toxic industrial, municipal, and military activities. However, pollutants tend to seep, spill, leak, and drift from wherever they are concentrated, defying any notion of physical ...

Consequences of the Chernobyl accident for reindeer husbandry in Sweden
Rangifer, 1990 Large parts of the reindeer hearding area in Sweden were contaminated with radioactive caesium from the Chernobyl fallout. During the first year after the accident no food with activity concentrations exceeding 300 Bq/kg was allowed to be sold in Sweden.

GENERALIZATION OF FACTORS FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF RADIONUCLIDES IN WATER MIGRATION
Геохімія техногенезу, 2020 This article supplements the previous publication on the principles of radioecological monitoring. It describes in more detail the procedure for the selection of factors affecting the mobilization (or remobilization) and aqueous removal of 90Sr.
