This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Impacts of Climate Change on Groundwater Quality in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain: A Review
ABSTRACT This review integrates hydrogeological and geochemical processes to assess the impacts of climate change on groundwater quality in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain (NACP). Projected changes in air temperature, precipitation, and sea‐level rise are expected to influence groundwater recharge, discharge, storage, and seawater intrusion in ...

Surface activity levels of 7Be, 210Pb, 40K and other atmospheric species and teh influence of African air mass intrusions [PDF]
The high frequency of mineral dust plumes blown across from Africa to the Iberian Peninsula significantly affects dust levels in the atmosphere. Therefore, it is of great interest to analyse and quantify the African dust loading over the region due to ...

Abstract Groundwater flow regulated by deep faults remains challenging to trace due to structural complexity. This study applies the noble gas tracer 222Rn combined with hydrochemistry and stable isotopes (δ2H, δ18O) to distinguish circulation patterns of geothermal springs along a major fault in the Tibetan Plateau.

Abstract The Fukushima unclear leakage in Japan on March 11 t h, 2011 resulted in huge amount of Cs-polluted incineration ashes and soils produced. The conventional solidification (cement and glass solidifications etc.) methods for nuclear wastes treatment seem unsuitable because too many solidification basis materials are also required.

Meta‐analysis and human risk assessment of radionuclides in milk. ABSTRACT This study conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of radionuclide concentrations of Cesium‐137 (Cs‐137), Cesium‐134 (Cs‐134), Iodine‐131 (I‐131), Lead‐210 (Pb‐210), and Potassium‐40 (K‐40) in milk worldwide, along with an assessment of human health risks, in accordance ...

Abstract Atmospheric deposition of micro‐nutrients like Fe has been shown to be important for ocean biogeochemistry. The largest source of atmospheric Fe and other elements (e.g., Ca, Al, Si, and Ti) is desert dust, although there are significant non‐dust sources in some regions (e.g., combustion, sea salts, volcanoes). However, past estimates of these

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city's circulatory flows ...
