Description

A research programme has been carried out aimed at ascertaining in the Po River (Northern Italy) the combinations 'environmental unit/detectable element' more effective for radioecological monitoring purposes. S.M.O.D. (sedimentable mineral-organic detritus) in artificial banks was recognized as very interesting combination. S.M.O.D. has shown an accumulation ability for various natural and artificial radionuclides. It was thus possible to ascertain levels of radioactivity even under condition not readily detectable with the matrices usually used for radiation protection monitoring. 6 refs.; 4 figs.; 2 tabs
