Abstract

Natural and anthropogenic radionuclides are used to study a suite of environmental processes. Yet their applications in aquatic systems are hindered by a general lack of knowledge regarding the underlying concepts of radioactivity, the occurrence of radionuclides in ecosystems, and the equations used to describe their decay mechanisms in environmentally applicable ways. The goal of this lecture is to provide upper level undergraduate and graduate students with a basic understanding of the fundamentals of radiochemistry, including the origin and stability of elements, radioactive decay mechanisms, and the fundamental equations that govern radioactive decay. This lecture is the first of a four-part lecture series on radionuclides in the marine environment.

海洋环境中的放射性:了解放射性的基本知识
自然的和人为的放射性核素被用来研究一系列的环境过程。然而,由于普遍缺乏关于放射性的基本概念、生态系统中放射性核素的出现以及以适用于环境的方式描述其衰变机制的方程式等方面的知识,它们在水生系统中的应用受到阻碍。本讲座的目的是让高年级本科生和研究生对放射化学的基本原理有一个基本的了解,包括元素的起源和稳定性,放射性衰变机制,以及控制放射性衰变的基本方程。本讲座是关于海洋环境中的放射性核素的四部分系列讲座的第一部分。
