      abstract = {This textbook presents the principles and methods for the  measurement of radioactivity in the environment. In this  regard, specific low-level radiation counting and  spectrometry or mass spectrometry techniques are discussed,  including sources, distribution, levels and dynamics of  radioactivity in nature. The author gives an accurate  description of the fundamental concepts and laws of  radioactivity as well as the different types of detectors  and mass spectrometers needed for detection. Special  attention is paid to scintillators, semiconductor  detectors, and gas ionization detectors. In order to  explain radiochemistry, some concepts about chemical  separations are introduced as well. The book is meant for  graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics,  chemistry or engineering oriented to environmental  sciences, and to other disciplines where monitoring of the  environment and its management is of great interest.},
