Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book consolidates over half a decade's worth of research into transuranic element behavior within the environment for a comprehensive look at their migration through ecosystems and the implications for human and animal health. Groundbreaking when first published, this book pulled together information that had previously only been available in disconnected, smaller-scale studies. The author provides background on the environmental and health risks of transuranic elements and summarizes research into their pathways in the environment. The author explores resuspension, uptake by plants and animals, and other processes that control the movement of these elements through terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The author concludes with a discussion of the challenges of predicting long-term behavior of transuranic elements and the implications of this for understanding the health risks from exposure.
