Radiochemistry is vital in assessing environmental contamination and understanding the behavior of radionuclides in ecosystems. It helps in tracking the movement of radioactive materials in soil, water, and air, providing insights into pollution sources and their impacts on health and the environment.
Environmental radiochemistry involves monitoring radioactive contaminants to ensure public safety. Techniques such as gamma spectrometry are employed to detect and quantify radionuclides in environmental samples, aiding in regulatory compliance and risk assessment.
