Radioactivity and radon exhalation from cat litter – Is there an issue?

by Sarrou I. Varnava N. Ioannidis I. Pashalidis I.

General

The main component of clumping cat litter is usually bentonite, which besides potassium (including K-40) contains uranium radium, and may also exhalate radon. Ten different cat litter samples, which are commercially available in Cyprus and have been imported from various countries, have been...

Microplastics in the marine environment

The effect of temperature on the adsorption of U-232 and Am-241 by PN6 has been investigated in laboratory and environmental water samples (e.g. seawater and waste water) in the picomolar concentration range. Generally, increasing temperature favors radionuclide adsorption, indicating that...
