A review of radio chemical analysis and estimation of 210Po in soil matrices

Detection of Polonium-210 in Environmental, Biological and Food Samples: A Review

“…Polonium is a metallic element with an atomic number of 84 that was discovered by the Curies in 1898 when processing uranium ore [1,2]. The element is soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and diluted hydrochloric acid, as well as several other solutions, and it can also form soluble salts with chloride, nitrate, and other inorganic anions.…”

Optimization of 210Po determination in soil

“…The new regulations pay more attention to natural radionuclides occurring in the environment, among which polonium is considered one of the most important. To prepare the new method, several aspects of the well-known radiochemical procedure of 210 Po determination [4] have been revised.…”

Improvements of 210Po determination method in thermal water samples

“…210 Po can enter the human body (IAEA et al, 2009;Martin et al, 2004;Momoshima et al, 2002;Al-Masri et al, 2004;Dubey et al, 2015;. Therefore, the 210 Po was interested and studied by many scientists around the world (Santos et al, 1990;Clayton et al, 1995;Shaheed et al, 1997; Stepnowski e a ia e a Ga c a- Orellana et al, 2002;Vesterbacka et al, 2005;Narayana et al, 2010;Prabhath et al, 2015;Sethy et al, 2015;Ababneh et al, 2018; Van et al, 2020;Behbehani et al, 2020). Due to the complex chemistry properties (Ram et al, 2019;Thakur et al, 2020), there were different methods to determine of 210 Po in environmental samples: 210 Po measurement techniques have been studied, described, and applied by many other scientists (Jia et al, 2001(Jia et al, , 2003Biggin et al, 2002;Meli MA et al, 2013;Kavitha E et al, 2017;Kim G. et al, 2005;Harada K et al, 1989;Skwarzec B et al, 2009; Skwa zec B e a 3 Bo yło A e a 2013; Turtiainen T et al, 2011;Guérin N et al, 2015;Vajda N et al, 1997;Matthews et al, 2007).…”
