Abstract:Résumé -Abstract -Background levels of tritium in the terrestrial environment. Samples of tree leaves and terrestrial foodstuffs, obtained from French non-influenced zones were measured for tissue free water tritium (TFWT) and organically bound tritium (OBT) content, over the period [2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012]. The background level determined from these data does not vary significantly over the 5 years of the survey and displays a mean value of 1.4 ± 1.2 Bq/L for both tritium forms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
