Natural and artificial radioactive pollution in sediment and soil samples of the Bosphorus, Istanbul

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
This study focused on the determination of natural (238U, 232Th, and 40K) and artificial (137Cs) radionuclide concentrations both in 55 sediment samples collected from various depths in the Bosphorus and 5 soil samples from the coastline of the Bosphorus, Istanbul, using gamma-ray spectrometry with an HPGe detector.

Radioactive pollution studies for soil samples in the South of Basra province

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020
Soil samples were collected from various locations within south of Basra province for radioactive pollution studies which involves (7) locations in this region. Gamma Counter Multichannel Analyzer and LB 1200 nuclear particles detector instruments were used for measurements the radioactive pollution levels of Gamma ray, Alpha (α) and Beta (β) nuclear ...

Comparison of Impact of Residual Radioactivity Versus Pesticide-Derived Soil Pollution on Genotoxicity

Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2020
A comparative analysis was performed of the impact on living organisms, in terms of genotoxicity, of two factors, namely, radiation (residual 137Cs) and a chemical factor (pesticides) . The experiment was conducted both on individual pesticide samples and the aqueous extracts of soil samples.

Persistent organic pollutants, heavy metals and radioactivity in the urban soil of Priština City, Kosovo and Metohija

Chemosphere, 2017
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), heavy metals content and radioactivity levels were measured in 27 soil samples collected from Priština, the capital of Kosovo and Metohija. The sixteen PAHs, twelve OCPs and six PCBs congeners were determined by gas chromatography system with ...

Ecotoxicological characteristic of a soil polluted by radioactive elements and heavy metals before and after its bioremediation

Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 2014
Abstract Cinnamonic soils from southeastern Bulgaria are heavily polluted with radionuclides (uranium, radium) and toxic heavy metals (copper and lead) due to the aerial transportation of fine particles from flotation tailing dumps to the soil surface.

Spatial gradient of human health risk from exposure to trace elements and radioactive pollutants in soils at the Puchuncaví-Ventanas industrial complex, Chile

Environmental Pollution, 2016
The Punchuncaví Valley in central Chile, heavily affected by a range of anthropogenic emissions from a localized industrial complex, has been studied as a model environment for evaluating the spatial gradient of human health risk, which are mainly caused by trace elemental pollutants in soil.

Binary and ternary polymer–strontium complexes and the capture of radioactive strontium‐90 from the polluted soil of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2002
AbstractThe interaction of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with strontium ions and the binding of strontium ions by equimolar interpolymer complexes (IPCs) of PAA and PEG were studied. The stability constants of binary polymer–metal complexes were determined.

Soil organic matter and carbonates facing radioactive metal pollution

Pollution from uranium, thorium, and radium poses significant environmental and public health risks. This study examines two regions with distinct soil types: carbonated and marshy soils. Soil samples were selected based on carbonate (28.83% and 9.79%) and organic matter content (22.6% and 1.8%). The research aims to evaluate the role of carbonates and
