A research team from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, the University of California - Berkeley, and the University of South Florida have developed a low-cost polymer adsorbent that can selectively bind to dissolved uranium in water. A report on the new process has just been published in the Nature Communications journal.
Ambient office = 93 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 135 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 139 nanosieverts per hour
Recently, I wrote about a cube of uranium that was donated to a scientist anonymously. It turned out that it was confiscated from a German laboratory at the end of World War II. Several years ago, a mislabeled sample of radioactive material was discovered in a college chem lab. No one was sure where it came from.
Ambient office = 90 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 87 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 94 nanosieverts per hour
