| Description | |
| Summary | Environmental radionuclide data. Of interest for EDMED we may mention long time-series of data on seawater and seaweed from Danish, Swedish, Faroese and Greenland waters, plutonium in sediments and biota from the Thule accident area, Chernobyl debris in Baltic, Danish and Greenland Sea samples. The marine data collection is justified by the documentation of the radioactive pollution level and by its function as tracers for the potential transport of other pollutants and water masses. The section participates regularly in international intercomparisons and quality assurance tests. Only own data. |
