We are pleased to share our latest blog post: “Unveiling the Hidden Threat: Tracking Uranium Accumulation in Marine Mussels with Dynamic SIMS”.
This post explores the intricate world of radioactive contamination in marine environments. Researchers from the Nice Institute of Chemistry, with analytical support from David SUHARD of the French Institute of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), have employed
Dynamic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (D-SIMS) to investigate uranium accumulation in marine mussels.
Key insights include:
🧜 The role of marine mussels as bioindicators.
☢️ Comparative analysis of uranium accumulation at different sites.
🔎 Detailed findings from D-SIMS analysis.
This study is essential for understanding the environmental impact of uranium and other actinides in marine ecosystems.
