Radionuclides in the Environment 1200-2MON22L
The origin and presence of natural and artificial radionuclides located in the environment, characteristic of these radioactive isotopes. The procedures and methods of quantity determination of radionuclides. The diversity of radioactive isotopes located in the soils, air, water (including the bottom sediments), overland and water-lived vegetable and animal organisms (including the human body), and in the food. The nuclear catastrophes and their influence on the radionuclides quantity in the environment.
