Isotope analysis has emerged as a vital tool in understanding environmental biodegradation processes, particularly in tracking the fate and transformation of pollutants in various ecosystems.

The course will show how radioactive and stable isotopes can be used to understand environmental and geological systems. Topics to be covered include radiometric dating using short and long half-life ...

As cancer rates in the West, and globally, tack upwards due to lifestyle and environmental pollution, so does the need for ...

Scientists at IFJ PAN discovered significant differences in plutonium isotope accumulation between hemispheres, with unique ...

Stable isotopes are non-radioactive forms of atoms. Although they do not emit radiation, their unique properties enable them to be used in a broad variety of applications, including water and soil ...

The course comprises lectures covering theoretical concepts on measurement of environmental stable isotopes using laser spectrometry, followed by demonstrations and practical exercises including the ...

These TIMS’ were installed in 2016 and 2022 and are primarily used for high-precision analysis of small sample size neodymium and strontium isotopes on materials spanning the earth and environmental ...

The ratio of these isotopes to one another indicates the age and chemical composition of the bedrock in a given region of the planet. Living organisms incorporate strontium from the environment ...

The isotope ratios of 238 Pu/ 239+240 Pu ... in the Northern Hemisphere—orders of magnitude higher than in other environmental matrices used to monitor the environment, such as lichen, moss ...
