129I is commonly either the top or among the top risk drivers, along with 99Tc, at
radiological waste disposal sites and contaminated groundwater sites where nuclear …

Multiple processes affect the fate of the radioactive isotope 129 I in the environment. Primary
categories of these processes include electron transfer reactions mediated by minerals and …

The formation of organoiodine compounds (OICs) is of great interest in the natural iodine
cycle as well as water treatment processes. Herein, we report a pathway of OIC formation …

Radionuclides reach the environment from natural or anthropogenic sources and are
equilibrating over time with different phases through sorption and precipitation reactions …

Iodine is a biophilic element that is important for human health, both as an essential
component of several thyroid hormones and, on the other hand, as a potential carcinogen in …

Major fractions of radioiodine (129I) are associated with natural organic matter (NOM) in the
groundwater and surface soils of the Savannah River Site (SRS). Electrospray ionization …

Natural organic matter (NOM) plays an important role in determining the fate and transport of
iodine species such as iodide (I–) and iodate (IO3–) in groundwater system. Although NOM …

During the last few decades, considerable research efforts have been extended to identify
more effective remediation treatment technologies to lower the 129 I concentrations to below …

Bentonite, which is used as an engineered barrier in geological repositories, is ineffective for
sorbing anionic radionuclides because of its negatively charged surface. This study modified …

Radioiodine (129I) poses a risk to the environment due to its long half-life, toxicity, and
mobility. It is found at the US Department of Energy Hanford Site due to legacy releases of …
