Tritium concentration in monthly precipitation in Okinawa and Kagoshima, southern Japan.
This study aimed at understanding the background concentration level of tritium in precipitation in southern Japan, where precipitation samples were collected monthly in 2022 in Okinawa and Kagoshima. Tritium concentration in monthly precipitation collected in Okinawa since 2014 ranged from 0.05 to 0.39 Bq per L with the mean value (2015-2022) of 0.15 ± 0.06 Bq per L. That of Kagoshima since 2022 ranged from < 0.11 to 0.58 Bq per L with the mean value of 0.30 ± 0.13 Bq per L. Our observed values were summarized with reported values, from which a clear latitude effect for tritium concentration was found in precipitation of southern Japan.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
