A comparative experimental study of gross alpha methods in natural waters
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of the present work was to compare the results obtained with gross alpha methods such as evaporation, co-precipitation and total evaporation by liquid scintillation counting and to check whether these results are ... -
Activity size distributions for long-lived radon decays products in aerosols collected in Barcelona (Spain)
(Elsevier, 2009-05-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe activity median aerodynamic diameters(AMADs)oflong-lived radon decay product(210Pb, 210Po) in aerosols collected in the Barcelona area(NortheastSpain)during the period from April 2006 toFebruary 2008 arepresented.The ... -
Comparison of different sampling methods for the determination of low-level radionuclides in air
(2016-03-01)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this work is to check the consistency of results given by different air dust samplers (flow-rates between 2 and 700 m(3)/h) and measurement protocols at a single location. The study is focussed on (210)pb since ... -
Determining the probability of locating peaks using computerized peak-location methods in gamma-ray spectra as a function of the relative peak-area uncertainty
(2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe probabilities of locating peaks with a high relative peak-area uncertainty were determined empirically with nine types of peak-location software used in laboratories engaged in gamma-ray spectrometry measurements. It ... -
Experimental analysis of the mass eficiency curve for gross alphya activity and morphological study of the residue obtained by the co-precipitation method
(2012-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyGross alpha activity determination in drinking water is one of the radiological parameters that must be determined in order to decide whether further specific analyses of radionuclides in samples is required. This parameter ... -
Influence of long-range atmospheric transport pathways and climate teleconnection patterns on the variability of surface Pb-210 and Be-7 concentrations in southwestern Europe
(Elsevier, 2016-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe variability of the atmospheric concentration of the 7Be and 210Pb radionuclides is strongly linked to the origin of air masses, the strength of their sources and the processes of wet and dry deposition. It has been ... -
Inter-comparison of different direct and indirect methods to determine radon flux from soil
(2011-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe physical and chemical characteristics of radon gas make it a good tracer for use in the application of atmospheric transport models. For this purpose the radon source needs to be known on a global scale and this is ... -
Medically-derived radionuclides levels in seven heterogeneous urban wastewater treatment plants: The role of operating conditions and catchment area
(Elsevier, 2019-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn nuclear medicine radionuclides are administered to patients both for diagnosis or treatment. Subsequently, the excreta from patients, enriched in radionuclides, enter the sewerage networks and reach wastewater treatment ... -

Radiological characterization of waste products at a catalan drinking water treatment plant
(2014)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - author's decisionConventional Drinking Water Treatment Plants (DWTPs) have a fairly standard sequence of processes which essentially consist of solid separation using either physical processes such as settling and filtration, or chemical ... -
Removal of radionuclides in drinking water by membrane treatment using ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and electrodialysis reversal
(Elsevier, 2013-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA pilot plant had been built to test the behaviour of ultra fi ltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and electrodialysis reversal (EDR) in order to improve the quality of the water supplied to Barcelona met- ropolitan ... -
The presence of radionuclides in wastewater treatment plants in spain and their effect on human health
(2013-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWastewater treatment facilities can produce sludge containing measurable amounts of radioactivity. The radionuclides that are concentrated may originate from radionuclides present in the original source of water or from ... -
