Description

A survey with appropriate references about monitoring of radioactivities encountered in the environment is presented. The first part is concerned with different sources of cosmogenic and terrestrial radionuclides on one side and, on the other, with radionuclides released into the environment by activities of people. Afterwards, attention is focused on the physical, chemical and technical aspects of advanced measuring techniques including sample treatments. The most important primordial radionuclides are 238U, 235U, 232Th and they decay products in transformation series, and 40K as well as 87Rb
