Radionuclides in the Environment, Radioecology
Verbal
As an EU country, Austria has to meet the European Community guideline concerning waters for consumption; here a Total Indicative Dose of 0.10 mSv per year for all nuclides with the exception of tritium, potassium-40, radon and radon progeny, is fixed. In our investigation we measured the radium isotopes Ra-226 and Ra-228, the uranium isotopes U-248 and U-234, as well as Pb-210 and Po-210;...

Radionuclides in the Environment, Radioecology
Verbal
Radionuclides existing in the environment, both natural and artificial, are accumulated in plants and animals and transferred through the trophic chain. They are also transported with river from their catchments’ areas. The activities of polonium 210Po, uranium (234U, 238U) and plutonium (238Pu, 239+240Pu) were measured in the biggest...

Radionuclides in the Environment, Radioecology
Verbal
It is well known that water contains dissolved radionuclides from uranium and thorium decay chains. Their concentrations are variable and depend on the nature of the aquifer rock types and the prevailing lithology. Quantitative information about the activity concentrations of critical alpha emitting radionuclides in the food and drink is important in the study of cumulative radiation effects...
