Investigation of an alleged nuclear incident at Greenham Common Airbase using TI-mass spectrometric measurements of uranium isotopes

Article Abstract:

This study details the use of a method of uranium analysis specifically developed to detect any uranium isotopic compositions in soil samples from the Greenham Common Air Base and in west Berkshire and north Hampshire, England. This study suggests that the approach used in this analysis would be useful and effective in other environmental surveys.

Reliability of salt marshes as 'geochemical recorders' of pollution input: a case study from contrasting estuaries in Southern England

Article Abstract:

Core samples from temperate, tidal salt marshes may be useful in constructing a general trend of pollutant loading in an area but may provide little data in reconstructing loading history of a specific pollutant. A study that used core samples from tidal salt marshes in Southern England to trace lead loadings proved that while salt marshes preserved the occurence of the pollutants, temporal trends in loadings were more difficult to extract from the core samples, due maybe to the complex in-estuary mixing processes.
