“…Table 1 concerns 90 Sr determination [49, 60, 66, 68, 69], Tables 2 and 3 concern determination of 137 Cs [31, 47, 48, 60, 66, 69, 71–74], Table 4 concerns determination of alpha-emitting plutonium isotopes [47, 48, 76], and Table 5 concerns beta-emitting 241 Pu isotope [51, 77]. Table 6 presents the vertical migration rate of plutonium isotopes [51].…”

“…The procedure for separating this isotope was worked out by Solecki [66, 67] with the goal to determine its concentration by measurement using a liquid scintillation method. It consists in sample ashing, leaching with concentrated nitric acid, extracting yttrium ions from nitric acid solution (after adding the yttrium carrier) with tributyl phosphate, precipitating yttrium hydroxide using ammonia after dilution of the organic phase with ethanol, and purification of Y(OH) 3 by dissolving the precipitate with nitric acid and adding a few grams of Dowex 1 × 8 resin into a bulk solution.…”

“…Soil-6 (IAEA) was used for investigations of radioactive elements, such as instrumental gamma spectrometric determination of 238 Pu and 239+240 Pu (Figueira et al 2006), determination of the 90 Sr radioactive concentration (Solecki 2007) and the Pu isotopes (Komosa et al 2006). Radium isotopes are the most dangerous natural radionuclides, because a number of daughter radionuclides are produced in a short time and Ra is easily incorporated into the bones.…”

Reference Materials in Geoanalytical and Environmental Research ‐ Review for 2006 and 2007

This review surveys the literature on reference materials for geological and environmental research for the two year period 2006–2007. In this time ca. 1200 publications appeared containing analytical data on reference materials, indicating that their importance for analytical work has been recognised by geochemists and environmental scientists. Although many reference materials exist, there remains a pressing need for further samples, especially for certified rock reference materials, homogeneous reference glasses, mineral reference materials and so‐called delta‐zero materials for normalisation purposes of stable isotopes. This review focuses on six topics: rock reference materials, reference materials for platinum‐group elements, reference glasses, mineral reference materials, environmental reference materials (seawater, soil) and isotopic reference materials (radiogenic, stable isotopes). In addition, a short description is given of the GeoReM database for reference materials of geological and environmental interest, which contains analytical data from the publications discussed in this review.

“…Determination of beta radioactive 90 Sr in environmental samples demands isolating it from other, natural betaemitting isotopes appearing in the sample matrix (12,13). To the supernatant kept during plutonium determination an yttrium carrier was added and yttrium oxalate was precipitated.…”

Concentration activity levels of selected radionuclides in skulls of European badger from eastern Poland were determined. It was found that studied skull bones contained on average 1.6 ± 1.7 Bq kg -1 of 137 Cs (range: 0-6.4 Bq kg -1 ), 2.2 ± 0.87 Bq kg -1 of 90 Sr (range: 0.93-3.9 Bq kg -1 ), and 8.4 ± 4.1 Bq kg -1 of 239+240 Pu (range: 0-53 Bq kg -1 ). These values prove to be rather low in comparison with earlier literature data on anthropogenic radionuclides (being a result of the Chernobyl fallout) present in skulls of other mammals. This suggests that migration processes of anthropogenic radionuclides have caused a diminishing of contamination in the upper layer of soil.
