Transuranic Elements in the Environment (Classic Reprint): A Summary of Environmental Research on Transuranium Radionuclides Funded by the U. S. Department of Energy Through Calendar Year 1979 - Softcover
Synopsis
Comprehensive guide to transuranic elements in our environment
This volume synthesizes decades of U.S. research on how plutonium and other transuranic nuclides move through soil, water, plants, and food webs. It explains how these elements travel, persist, and potentially impact health, with an emphasis on environmental transport and long-term behavior.
- Learn how soil, weather, and biology affect the availability of transuranic elements to plants and animals
- See how researchers measure uptake in crops, soils, and aquatic systems
- Understand approaches to modeling long‑term environmental transport and risks
- Explore how different environments—from deserts to coastal and arctic regions—influence dispersion and persistence
Ideal for readers seeking a grounded, evidence-based view of environmental radiology and the long shadow of nuclear materials in the ecosystem.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book consolidates over half a decade's worth of research into transuranic element behavior within the environment for a comprehensive look at their migration through ecosystems and the implications for human and animal health. Groundbreaking when first published, this book pulled together information that had previously only been available in disconnected, smaller-scale studies. The author provides background on the environmental and health risks of transuranic elements and summarizes research into their pathways in the environment. The author explores resuspension, uptake by plants and animals, and other processes that control the movement of these elements through terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The author concludes with a discussion of the challenges of predicting long-term behavior of transuranic elements and the implications of this for understanding the health risks from exposure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334421501_0
