Uniquely combining the three areas of radiochemistry, the environment and analysis, Environmental Radiochemical Analysis contains the latest and most important research in this area. Radium and radon in the environment, the use of bioindicators for radium and caesium and the analysis of actinides are among the subjects presented, along with a section on tritium and carbon-14 measurement. A range of measurement methods are discussed, as is the role of quality assurance and accreditation. With contributions from experts throughout the world, this book will be welcomed by researchers and professionals in academia and industry.
