Description

The aim of this campaign managed by Orano Mining was to evaluate the concentration of radio elements (uranium and radium) and other trace elements in surface waters in the vicinity of former mining sites and their comparison with the natural background concentrations of watersheds in unaffected areas. The DGT technique was applied to evaluate the potential bioavailability of these elements.
