Man-Made and Natural Radioactivity in Environmental Pollution and Radiochronology

by Richard Tykva (Editor), Dieter Berg (Editor)

The goal of this book is to examine the complex state of radioactivity in the environment, and to understand the interplay of its two principal sources: man-made and natural. The text examines human contributions to release of radionuclides, with an eye to future reductions, and assesses natural occurrences in an evaluation of baseline radioactivity.
