Tracing mercury in the wider Idrija region using stable isotopes
Mercury, a toxic element, known for its physical and chemical properties, spreads throughout the environment and is found in various ecosystems, including water, air, soil, and biological systems. The natural mercury cycle begins beneath the earth's crust, where it rises to the surface and is released into the air through …
Method for the determination of uranium isotope ratios and its application as a novel geochemical tracer
U and Th isotopic composition have been proven to be a valuable tool in environmental science, oceanography, hydrology, geology, nuclear forensics, and science-based archaeology. These applications require simultaneous detection of both minor and major isotopes at high accuracy. Often, the amount of sample or concentration of U and Th are …
Migration of critical radionuclides in the area of former uranium mine Žirovski vrh
A study of the migration of critical radionuclide in the area of the former uranium mine of Žirovski vrh in Slovenia was performed. Critical natural radionuclides are defined as the long-lived natural radionuclides from the uranium-radium decay chain, which are 238U, 234U, 230Th, 226Ra, 210Pb and 210Po. In the area …
