Uranyl ions U (VI), are the common by-product of nuclear power plants and anthropogenic
activities like mining, excess utilization of fertilizers, oil industries, etc. Its intake into the body …

The main aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the current state of knowledge on
chemical toxicity and radioactivity of depleted uranium (DU) and their effect on living …

Energy and environmental concerns have historically had an impact on the growth of
civilization. In the last several decades, nuclear power has advanced rapidly since clean …

The global fallout 236U level in soil was deduced from measurements of 236U, 239+ 240Pu
and 137Cs in surface soils which are solely influenced by global fallout. A total of 12 soil …

Lichens have been widely used as a biomonitoring tool to record the distribution and
concentration of airborne radioactivity and pollutants such as metals. There are limitations …

As the parent element in the U-Pb and Pb-Pb radiochronometers, uranium (U) was one of
the first heavy elements whose isotopic composition was carefully determined. Thought to …

The determination of naturally occurring and anthropogenic radionuclides in the
environment by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry has gained recognition over …

In this article, the speciation and behavior of anthropogenic metallic uranium deposited on
natural soil are approached by combining EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) …

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is presently the most sensitive technique for the
measurement of actinides with half-lives greater than about 5000 years. Here, the principles …

This paper addresses an approach to the theory and practice of electrodeposition processes
of alpha-emitting nuclides. Some of the main contributions made to this field are reviewed …
