Environmental Radioactivity in the North Atlantic Region. The Faroe Islands and Greenland included. 1985

Measurements of fallout radioactivity in the North Atlantic region including the Faroe Islands anri Greenland are reported. Strontium-90 and cesium-137 was determined in samples of precipitation, sea water, vegetation, various foodstuffs (including milk in Uic Faroes) and drinking water. Estimates a...

Description
Summary:Measurements of fallout radioactivity in the North Atlantic region including the Faroe Islands anri Greenland are reported. Strontium-90 and cesium-137 was determined in samples of precipitation, sea water, vegetation, various foodstuffs (including milk in Uic Faroes) and drinking water. Estimates are given of the mean contents of 90 Sr and 137 Cs in human diet in the Faroes and Greenland in 1985. Results from samplings of surface sea water and seaweed in the English Channel, the Fram Strait and along the Norwegian and Greenland coasts are reported. Beside radiocesium and 90Sr some of these samples have also been analysed for tritium, plutonium and americium. Finally technetium-99 data on seaweed and sea water samples collected in the North Atlantic region are presented.
