Lessons learnt on the impact of an unprecedented soil decontamination program in Fukushima on contaminant fluxes [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023
Significance We used a combined experimental-modeling approach to study soil erosion, sediment, and Cesium-137 (137Cs) transfers in a representative catchment contaminated by the radioactive fallout from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident.

Proposed Cesium-free Mineralization Method for Soil Decontamination: Demonstration of Cesium Removal from Weathered Biotite [PDF]

ACS Omega, 2017
The removal possibility of sorbed Cs from weathered biotite (WB), which is considered a major Cs adsorbent in the soil of Fukushima, has been investigated by the addition of an NaCl–CaCl2 mixed salt powder with a 1:1 ratio of Na and Ca and subsequent ...

Use of high-energy ionizing radiation for microbiological decontamination of coastal soil in the Kolubara river basin, Serbia [PDF]

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2021
The Kolubara river pollutes the coastal land in the river basin and makes it unsuitable for agricultural activities in that area. Also, contaminated land poses a risk to the environment.

Main Factors Determining the Scale-Up Effectiveness of Mycoremediation for the Decontamination of Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Soil

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Soil contamination constitutes a significant threat to the health of soil ecosystems in terms of complexity, toxicity, and recalcitrance. Among all contaminants, aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons (APH) are of particular concern due to their abundance and ...

Clean Cut (adaptive, multimodal surgical infection prevention programme) for low‐resource settings: a prospective quality improvement study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Clean Cut is a multimodal, adaptive, checklist‐based infection prevention programme designed to improve compliance with six critical perioperative infection prevention practices. After introducing the programme at five hospitals in Ethiopia, compliance with critical infection prevention standards significantly improved and the relative risk of ...
