Radioactive Aerosols in the Environment

Radioactive aerosols differ physically from non-radioactive aerosols by the appreciable charge that they may carry. This arises from a competition between the charge generated by the radioactive decays occurring within each aerosol and the subsequent diffusion of the ions formed back onto the particle. At high levels of activity, the particles may self-discharge, at low and intermediate activit...

Remediation of ozone pollution by ornamental plants in indoor environment

The indoor air quality is much more matter of concern as relative to ambient or outdoor air quality, especially in the context of human health.  However, very few studies have been reported for remediation of indoor ozone by plant species. The main objective of this study is to evaluate ozone deposition velocities and ozone removal effectiveness of three indoor ornamental plant species (Dra...

Efficiency, equity and pollution: the case of radioactive waste

The absence of compensation for third parties who are the victims of residual (that is, permitted) pollution can entail a violation of Rawls's second principle of justice. Environmental pollution, insofar as it is an uncharged cost, may lead also to an economically inefficient distribution of goods and services. Radioactivity and radiation dose are forms of pollution for which a control philoso...
