  • Title: Modelling the Chernobyl radioactive fallout (I): A fractal approach in northern Italy.
    Author: Salvadori G, Ratti SP, Belli G.
    Journal: Chemosphere; 1996 Dec; 33(12):2347-57. PubMed ID: 8976052.
    Abstract:
    This paper deals with the 137Cs airborne radioactive concentration measured in Northern Italy after the Chernobyl accident. We devised a fractal model to aid in describing the space-time distribution of radioactivity. The model is based on the Fractal Sum of Pulses theory, involving additive stochastic processes. We use, as input source of information, the parametrization of the time trend of radioactive concentration in a few Italian Provinces we calculated in previous work. The results look promising, since realistic scenarios of environmental pollution are produced.
