Description

This book is divided into nine parts as follows: origin of radionuclides in the aquatic environment; assessment of radioactive contamination of the aquatic environment; evolution of radionuclides in waters; behaviour of radionuclides in sediments; quantitative data on accumulation, distribution and biological release of radioactive pollutants; mechanisms of the biological accumulation; influence of ecological factors on radioactive contamination of ecosystems; effects of irradiation on aquatic organisms. The last part is devoted to general conclusions on sanitary and ecological consequences of radioactive pollution of the aquatic environment

Abstract (French)

Ce livre comprend les neuf chapitres suivants: origine des radionucleides dans les milieux aquatiques; constats de contamination radioactive des milieux aquatiques; evolution des radionucleides dans les eaux; comportement des radionucleides a l'egard des sediments; donnees quantitatives sur l'accumulation, la distribution et l'elimination biologique des polluants radioactifs; mecanismes de l'accumulation biologique; influence des facteurs ecologiques sur la contamination radioactive des ecosystemes; effets de l'irradiation sur les organismes aquatiques. Le dernier chapitre est consacre a des conclusions generales sur les consequences sanitaires et ecologiques de la pollution radioactive des milieux aquatiques
