Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 435-447., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Seaweed against strontium and preussian blue against cesium
Rangifer, 1988 The fact that alginates bind strontium and cyanates bind cesium and are capable of removing these elements from living organisms is scientifically verified. Zeolites offer another possibility for exchange of these ions.

Anthropogenic radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr in the southern Baltic Sea ecosystem
Oceanologia, 2013 The radioisotopes of caesium (137Cs) and strontium (90Sr) make the greatestcontribution to the radioactivity level due to artificial radionuclides in the BalticSea, where the level of 137Cs contamination is higher than in any otherpart of the world ocean.
