{"product_id":"detecting-environmental-radioactivity-manuel-garca-le-n-9783031099694","title":"Detecting Environmental Radioactivity","description":"This textbook presents the principles and methods for the measurement of radioactivity in the environment. In this regard, specific low-level radiation counting and spectrometry or mass spectrometry techniques are discussed, including sources, distribution, levels and dynamics of radioactivity in nature. The author gives an accurate description of the fundamental concepts and laws of radioactivity as well as the different types of detectors and mass spectrometers needed for detection. Special attention is paid to scintillators, semiconductor detectors, and gas ionization detectors. In order to explain radiochemistry, some concepts about chemical separations are introduced as well. The book is meant for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics, chemistry or engineering oriented to environmental sciences, and to other disciplines where monitoring of the environment and its management is of great interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manuel Garc僘-Le\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031099699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031099694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.38d","brand":"Manuel Garc僘-Le","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44364942868735,"sku":"9783031099694","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f2dd7e0-1257-4d6b-8819-6620fc214e45.jpg?v=1697055744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/detecting-environmental-radioactivity-manuel-garca-le-n-9783031099694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
