Closing Overview and Discussion, chaired and summarised -- Index of Authors -- Subject Index -- Last Page Summary The first volume of the new series, Radioactivity in the Environment, focuses on the environmental occurrence, the speciation, the behaviour, the fate, the applications and the health consequences of that much-feared and much-publicised element, plutonium. Featuring a collection of selected, peer-reviewed, up-to-date papers by leading researchers in the field, this work provides a state-of-the-art description of plutonium in the environment. This title helps to explain where present frontiers are drawn in our continuing efforts to understand the science of environmental plutonium and will help to place widespread concerns into perspective. As a whole this new book series on environmental radioactivity addresses, at academic research level, the key aspects of this socially important and complex interdisciplinary subject. Presented objectively and with the ultimate authority gained from the many contributions by the world's leading experts, the negative and positive consequences of having a radioactive world around us will be documented and given perspective Analysis plutonium fallout radionucliden radionuclides analytische methoden analytical methods chemische speciatie chemical speciation ruimtelijke verdeling spatial distribution langeafstandstransport long distance transport Environmental Pollution Milieuverontreiniging Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
