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. 001451572 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 12, 2022). 001451572 650_0 $$aRadioactive pollution$$xMeasurement. 001451572 650_0 $$aRadiation, Background$$xMeasurement. 001451572 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451572 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031099699$$z9783031099694$$w(OCoLC)1322811292 001451572 830_0 $$aGraduate texts in physics. 001451572 852__ $$bebk 001451572 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-09970-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451572 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451572$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451572 980__ $$aBIB 001451572 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451572 982__ $$aEbook 001451572 983__ $$aOnline 001451572 994__ $$a92$$bISE
