Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), as the main components of petroleum
hydrocarbons (PHCs), are carcinogenic organic pollutants that occur widely in the …

Among environment contaminants, 210 Pb and 210 Po have gained significant research
attention due to their radioactive toxicity. Moss, with its exceptional adsorption capability for …

This study investigated the distribution features of uranium-238 (238 U), radium-226 (226
Ra), thorium-232 (232 Th), and potassium-40 (40 K) and evaluated the associated …

Glaciers are recognized as repositories for atmospheric pollutants, however, due to climate
change and enhanced melting rates, they are rapidly transitioning from being repositories to …

The contamination status of heavy metals in urban environment changes frequently with the
industrial structure adjustment, energy conservation and emission reduction and thus …

In analytical chemistry, biomonitoring is known as the methodology, which consider the use
of living organisms to monitor and assess the impact of different contaminants in a known …

A contamination with the ubiquitous radioactive fission product 137Cs cannot be assigned
per se to its source. We used environmental samples with varying contamination levels from …

Mosses can be used as biological monitors to study metal pollution and the depositional
fluxes of radionuclides. In this study, we analysed the concentrations of radionuclides (210 …

Abstract Radon-222 (Rn-222) exhalation rate is vital for estimating radiation risk from many
kinds of materials. AlphaGUARD measures the radon concentration based on the ionization …

Radionuclides in environmental ecosystems have ecotoxicity and health impact on human
and environment, so radioactive contamination has always been one of the global concerns …
