Screening truffles for radioactivity 30 years from Chernobyl

October 17, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Some forest mushrooms, such as wild porcini, can accumulate dangerous levels of radioactivity from the soils they grow in. But until now it was unclear if the same was true for truffles, fungi that range among the most expensive foods in the world. Swiss and German researchers have analysed Burgundy truffles collected in central Europe […]

New highly radioactive particles found in Fukushima

April 29, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

The 10 year anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident occurs in March. Work just published in the Journal ‘Science of the Total Environment’ documents new, large (> 300 micrometers), highly radioactive particles that were released from one of the damaged Fukushima reactors.

A radioactive isotope is showing up in honey

April 23, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

That natural, bee-produced sweetener you stir into your tea and lavish on your toast may be laced with cesium-137. It’s a radioactive isotope, Jim Kaste explains, a relic of the atom bomb tests of the Cold War. And there is a good chance that your delectable honey contains detectable amounts of the stuff. Kaste hastens […]

Venus flytrap for nuclear waste: New material finds ‘needle in a haystack,’ shows promise for clean-up

February 17, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Not every object is food to a Venus flytrap. Like the carnivorous plant, a new material developed at Northwestern University permanently traps only its desired prey, the radioactive ion cesium, and not other harmless ions like sodium. The synthetic material, made from layers of a gallium, sulfur and antimony compound, is very selective. The Northwestern […]

Oil and gas wastewater as dust suppressant less than ideal

January 28, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

At the least, wastewater from oil and gas drilling should be treated in a waste treatment facility before it is used on dirt roads to suppress dust or deice roads. At the best, affordable, nontoxic dust suppressants should be developed and used, according to a multidisciplinary team of researchers. “Thirteen states in the United States […]

Low doses of radiation used in medical imaging lead to mutations in cell cultures

January 23, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Common medical imaging procedures use low doses of radiation that are believed to be safe. A new study, however, finds that in human cell cultures, these doses create breaks that allow extra bits of DNA to integrate into the chromosome. Roland Kanaar and Alex Zelensky of Erasmus University Medical Center and Oncode Institute and colleagues […]

Big Tobacco knew radioactive particles in cigarettes posed cancer risk but kept quiet

November 19, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

Tobacco companies knew that cigarette smoke contained radioactive alpha particles for more than four decades and developed “deep and intimate” knowledge of these particles’ cancer-causing potential, but they deliberately kept their findings from the public, according to a new study by UCLA researchers.  The analysis of dozens of previously unexamined internal tobacco industry documents, made […]
