Results of a self-absorption study on the Versapor 3000 47-mm filters for radioactive particulate air stack sampling.

30 Oct 2009 Since the mid-1980's the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has used a value of 0.85 as a correction factor for the self absorption of activity for particulate radioactive air samples collected from building exhaust for environmental ... Read more...

Influence of genetic background on fluoride metabolism in mice.

30 Oct 2009 A/J and 129P3/J mouse strains have different susceptibilities to dental fluorosis, due to their genetic backgrounds. This study tested whether these differences are due to variations in water intake and/or F metabolism. A/J (susceptible to dental ... Read more...

Multimetal interactions between Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn uptake from water in the zebrafish Danio rerio.

29 Sep 2009 The uptake of essential (Cu, Ni, and Zn) and nonessential (Cd and Pb) metals in the gills and whole body of zebrafish exposed to a mixture of trace elements at environmentally relevant concentrations was investigated using a stable isotope ... Read more...
