Extremophilic Microorganisms for the Treatment of Toxic Pollutants in the Environment
Molecules, 2020 As concerns about the substantial effect of various hazardous toxic pollutants on the environment and public health are increasing, the development of effective and sustainable treatment methods is urgently needed. In particular, the remediation of toxic

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2022 The radionuclide dispersion in coastal water is mainly controlled by the water flow and tidal effect. Tracing and analysis of radioactive pollutant dispersion in coastal water can predict distribution of radionuclide under marine transportation accident ...

Exploring atmospheric radon with airborne gamma-ray spectroscopy [PDF]
Atmospheric Environment 170, no. Supplement C (2017), 2017 $^{222}$Rn is a noble radioactive gas produced along the $^{238}$U decay chain, which is present in the majority of soils and rocks. As $^{222}$Rn is the most relevant source of natural background radiation, understanding its distribution in the environment is of great concern for investigating the health impacts of low-level radioactivity and for ...

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Aims Healthcare waste production is a significant contributor to carbon emissions, negatively impacting the environment. Ineffective healthcare waste disposal results in greater measures to manage it which is costly to both the environment and healthcare organizations.

arXiv, 2022 Radioactive nuclei are the key to understanding the circumstances of the birth of our Sun because meteoritic analysis has proven that many of them were present at that time. Their origin, however, has been so far elusive. The ERC-CoG-2016 RADIOSTAR project is dedicated to investigating the production of radioactive nuclei by nuclear reactions inside ...

Cartographing of "spots" of radioactive pollution
Nuclear and Radiation Safety, 2018 The methodology was proposed and the algorithm was developed for mapping and delineating the "spots" of radioactive contamination territory by the 137Cs. The methodology is based on the principle of multi-stage (successive approximations) widely used in geological surveys.

Influence of decontamination process parameters on ultrasonic decontamination efficiency of pipeline [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesMany radioactive pollutants will be deposited inside the nuclear power plant pipelines after long-term service, which will form radioactive hot spots and increase the radiation dose rate level of operators.

Sampling and Measurement of Radioactive Atmospheric Pollution [PDF]
Air Repair, 1953 Apparatus are described for continuously monitoring the ..cap alpha.. and ..gamma.. radiation from stack effluents. A storage-battery-driven dust collector can be used to collect dust away from power sources. An adhesive-coated film can be used to collect fallout, at a distance from the source.

Polarization induced water molecule dissociation below the first-order electronic-phase transition temperature [PDF]
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 13 (2011) 15175, 2011 Hydrogen produced from the photocatalytic splitting of water is one of the reliable alternatives to replace the polluting fossil and the radioactive nuclear fuels. Here, we provide unequivocal evidence for the existence of blue- and red-shifting O$-$H covalent bonds within a single water molecule adsorbed on MgO surface as a result of asymmetric ...
