Radioactivity and dose assessment of heavy radioactive pollution, radon and radium from water sources of 3 northern regions in Iran

International Journal of the Physical Sciences, 2011
Knowledge of natural radioactivity in man and his environment is important since naturally occurring radionuclides are the major source of radiation exposure to man. One of the main sources of public exposure from natural radioactivity is radium and radon and its short lived decay products.

From Community‐Based to State Management: Evaluating Ghana's Small‐Town and Rural Water Governance Reform

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In Ghana, the government has initiated a reform in rural water management to shift away from community‐based management (CBM) to state management, but research assessing the reform is still insufficient. This study aims to critically evaluate the impact of the reform in addressing rural water challenges.

Radioactivity level and concentration of metals in waters around power plants application of potential method for pollution assessment

Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2018
Human activities may lead to increased levels of naturally occurring radioactive material and heavy metals in waters relative to undisturbed natural environment, consequently to reduced safety of environment. Therefore, evaluation of water quality from coal-fired power plants is essential to both environmental protection and protection of ...

Spatial Partitioning of Microbial Functional Potential Suggests Complex Nitrogen Cycling in a Subterranean Estuary

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microbial communities in a Mediterranean subterranean estuary show spatially structured nitrogen‐cycling potential across hydrochemical zones. Microbial properties, more than environmental variables, predict NO2− and NH4+ concentrations, highlighting their key role in controlling nitrogen transformations prior to submarine groundwater discharge ...

Risk Without Values: Including Indigenous Perspectives in Climate Risk Assessments

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate risk assessments (CRAs) increasingly acknowledge Indigenous communities as disproportionately exposed to climate change, yet they rarely engage Indigenous perspectives as distinct ways of understanding risk. In a thematic review of CRAs self‐submitted to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) by English‐speaking international cities, we ...
