  • Title: Monitoring natural and artificial radioactivity enhancement in the Aegean Sea using floating measuring systems.
    Author: Tsabaris C.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2008 Nov; 66(11):1599-603. PubMed ID: 18495486.
    Abstract:
    In the present work, the enhancement of radioactivity due to rainfall in the Aegean Sea using floating measuring systems was observed and quantified. The data were acquired with a NaI underwater detection system, which was installed on a floating measuring system at a depth of 3m. The results of natural and artificial radioactivity are discussed taking into account the rainfall intensity and wind direction. The activity concentration of (214)Bi increased up to (991+/-102)Bq/m(3) after strong rainfall in the North Aegean Sea in winter (humid period) with east wind direction. On other hand, the maximum activity concentration reached the level of (110+/-10)Bq/m(3) in summer (dry period) during south winds.
