Elevated plutonium and americium content in skulls of small mammals

Elevated plutonium and americium content in skulls of small mammals
Elevated plutonium and americium content in skulls of small mammals
It has been found that in skull bones of small mammals have significantly higher Pu and Am concentrations than ever found in bones of any other species in areas contaminated by global fallout. Since there was no difference between skulls of rodents and insectivorous, an explanation is proposed that the contamination takes place by the inhalation of Pu and Am tiny soil particles.

Abstract

It has been found that in skull bones of small mammals have significantly higher Pu and Am concentrations than ever found in bones of any other species in areas contaminated by global fallout. Since there was no difference between skulls of rodents and insectivorous, an explanation is proposed that the contamination takes place by the inhalation of Pu and Am tiny soil particles.
