Uranium (U) is of enormous global importance because of its use in energy generation,
albeit with potential environmental legacies. While naturally occurring U is widespread in the …

Environmental contamination caused by radionuclides, in particular by uranium and its
decay products is a serious problem worldwide. The development of nuclear science and …

Uranium (VI) adsorption onto aquifer sediments was studied in batch experiments as a
function of pH and U (VI) and dissolved carbonate concentrations in artificial groundwater …

The potential of radioactive disequilibria as tracers and chronometers of weathering
processes has been recognised since the 1960's (eg, Rosholt et al. 1966; Hansen and Stout …

The issue of natural radioactivity in groundwater is reviewed, with emphasis on those
radioisotopes which contribute in a significant way to the overall effective dose received by …

Uranium is a toxic and pervasive geogenic contaminant often associated with organic
matter. Its abundance and speciation in organic-rich permafrost soils are unknown, thereby …

Techniques for rapid screening of uranium in environmental samples are needed, and this
study entails the development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for analyzing …

The U-238 series of radionuclides is of relevance in a variety of environmental contexts
ranging from the remediation of former uranium mining and milling facilities to the deep …

The biogeochemical activities of free‐living and symbiotic fungi must be acknowledged in
attempts to understand uranium cycling and dispersal in the environment. Although the near …

The paper summarizes studies of effects of alpha-and beta-emitting radionuclides
(americium-241, uranium-235+ 238, and tritium) on marine microorganisms under …
