Jcd. Milton et al., A NEW INTERPRETATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF BOMB-PRODUCED CL-36 IN THE ENVIRONMENT, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LAURENTIAN GREAT-LAKES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 123(1-4), 1997, pp. 382-386
There is now a large body of evidence suggesting that chlorine does no
t occur in the environment entirely as the CL(-) ion, and that its rat
e of percolation to the water table is strongly influenced by the pres
ence of vegetation. The new information is used to improve our underst
anding of previous measurements of the concentrations of Cl-36 in the
Laurentian Great Lakes.
