Abstract
Principles, advantages, and limitations of the use of radiotracer meth od for the analysis of speciation and migration of contaminants in the environment are briefly discussed. Several recent examples of use in the author's laboratory are given: development of the separation metho d for methylmercury and inorganic mercury in hair, analysis of the spe ciation of cadmium in soil solutions, study of the interaction of Cs-1 37 and Co-58 with, suspended sediments in river water, and determinati on of input data for mathematical modeling of radiocesium migration in a small river.
