Strontium-90 pollution can be bioremediated with the green microalga Tetraselmis chui.
Environmental Science: Processes & ImpactsStrontium-90 (90Sr) is an artificial radioisotope produced by nuclear fission, with a relatively long half-life of 29 years. This radionuclide is released into the environment in the event of a nuclear incident, posing a serious risk to human and ...
