The patterns of uptake, retention, and tissue distribution of
⁹⁵mTc in two freshwater species, the crayfish Pacifastacus
leniusculus and the snail Juga silicula have been investigated. The
animals were chronically exposed in water to which sodium
pertechnetate had been added. Final whole-body concentration ratios
(CR) obtained were 1.6 and 41...
The seasonal concentration, turnover and mode of accumulation
of ³²P by the juvenile starry flounder in Alder Slough, a small eco-system in the Columbia River Estuary, was examined during 1969 and
1970.
Levels of ³²P and concentrations of total P were measured to
permit computation of specific activities (nCi³²P/g total...
This report represents the progress in "Ecological and Radioecological
Studies in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific
Ocean" for the period 1 April 1975 through 31 March 1976. This research
has been supported with funds from the Division of Biomedical and
Environmental Research, U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration...
Concentration ratios are used to determine the transfer of nuclides from soil to biota to fauna. Some nuclides have limited associated data though, this has not prevented predictions from being performed at sites without associated data. These ratios are site specific and are not fully applicable when applied to other...
From the 1960s to 1990s, the water quality of Dian Lake (滇池), China's sixth largest freshwater lake located outside the capital of Yunnan Province, Kunming City, rapidly declined causing livelihood disruption, decreased water availability, and biodiversity loss. Despite significant investments in remediation efforts, only small water quality improvements have been...
