This book is about radioactive gases and particles which are
dispersed in the environment, either from natural causes, or
following nuclear test and accidental emissions. In the first five
chapters of this book, the formation and properties of radioactive
aerosols are described. Radon, which is of natural origin, is
treated at some length, because its contribution to background
radiation dose is important. Chapters describe the release of
fission products, tritium and plutonium, in bomb tests and nuclear
accidents. Particular reference is made to the pathways leading via
agricultural products to man. The emphasis then changes to cover
experimental aspects of radioactive aerosols. For example, problems
in micrometeorology, the study of mass transfer, the mechanics of
the human lung and uptake of lead from motor exhausts. Arthur
Chamberlain has worked at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment
at Harwell for thirty years as the leader of the Aerosol Group. It
is a unique exposition and will be used by chemists, geographers,
environmentalists as well as governments and other agencies
involved in the nuclear debate.
