Fate and health implications of the radioactive ultrafine aerosols in the air
Fine and ultra fine particles with attached radioactive ions, often highly toxic and carcinogenic, can cause serious acute and chronic health issues. Due to environmental significance of nanoparticles associated with radioactive isotopes of natural or artificial origin and the worldwide health risk they pose, this article presents how they are transported into the troposphere. This study evaluates the public health impact of radionuclides releas…

leprogres.fr"There are drums almost intact and others extremely degraded," said the co-head of this scientific mission.
Several states disposed of barrels with nuclear waste in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean decades ago. With the help of a diving robot, an expedition has now come to them.
The CNRS researchers identified 3,355 barrels of nuclear waste immersed in the Atlantic Abyssal Plain. 200,000 radioactive drums were dropped there between 1946 and 1990.
Brest (France), 11 Jul 2025 (AFP) – What happens to the 200,000 barrels of radioactive waste immersed in the Atlantic Ocean? A scientific mission has identified more than 3,000, some of which have been vented, but no major radioactivity anomalies have been found, the researchers announced on Friday. "There are almost intact drums and others extremely [...]
The 20 scientists who went to study drums of radioactive waste in the Atlantic are back in Brest. The expedition was rich in discoveries, says one of the heads of mission.
