Combined methodology for estimating dose rates and health effects from exposure to radioactive pollutants [PDF]

, 1980
The work described in the report is basically a synthesis of two previously existing computer codes: INREM II, developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL); and CAIRD, developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Source apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and black carbon at the western coastal areas of the Yellow Sea based on isotopic signatures

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The stable and radioactive isotopes (δ13C, Δ14C and δ2H) of black carbon (BC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the sediment from the western coastal areas of the Yellow Sea (i.e.

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.

High‐Throughput Geocoding to Assess Short‐Term Air Pollution in Correlation With Mortality in a French Cancer Patient Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Although chronic air pollution exposure is linked to lung cancer mortality, the short‐term effects of fluctuating air quality on overall cancer mortality remain uncertain. Here, the authors applied geomatics and machine‐learning models to retrospectively examine possible associations between 31‐day pollution exposure and mortality in a French cancer ...

The Impact of Genetic Polymorphisms on Genotoxicity (DNA Damage) Among Children Exposed to Environmental Mutagens: A Systematic Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children, as a particularly vulnerable group, are more susceptible to these mutagens due to their developing immune systems, higher physiological vulnerability, and increased exposure through behaviors like outdoor play and hand‐to‐mouth activities. This review aims to investigate the relationship between these environmental exposures, genetic

Electrospun fibrous sorbents for the removal of uranium and americium from aqueous media

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Polymethacrylate‐based electrospun microfibers with tertiary amino functionalities are evaluated as adsorbents for U‐232 and Am‐241 in both simplified and complex (seawater) water matrices, highlighting their ability for efficient actinide removal. Abstract Polymethacrylate‐based electrospun microfibers containing tertiary amino functionalities were ...

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous
