A Bayesian approach to assess data from radionuclide activity analyses in environmental samples

A Bayesian statistical approach is introduced to assess experimental data from the analyses of radionuclide activity concentration in environmental samples (low activities). A theoretical model has been developed that allows the use of known prior information about the value of the measurand (activity), together with the experimental value determined through the measurement. The model has been applied to data of the Inter-laboratory Proficiency Test organised periodically among Spanish environmental radioactivity laboratories that are producing the radiochemical results for the Spanish radioactive monitoring network. A global improvement of laboratories performance is produced when this prior information is taken into account. The prior information used in this methodology is an interval within which the activity is known to be contained, but it could be extended to any other experimental quantity with a different type of prior information available.     

A chemiluminescence biochemical oxygen demand measuring method

A new chemiluminescence biochemical oxygen demand (BOD_CL) determining method was studied by employing redox reaction between quinone and Baker's yeast. The measurement was carried out by utilizing luminol chemiluminescence (CL) reaction catalyzed by ferricyanide with oxidized quinone of menadione, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a batch-type luminometer. In this study, dimethyl sulfoxide was used as a solvent for menadione. After optimization of the measuring conditions, the CL response to hydrogen peroxide in the incubation mixture had a linear response between 0.1 and 100 μM H₂O₂ (r² = 0.9999, 8 points, n = 3, average of relative standard deviation; R.S.D._av = 4.22%). Next, a practical relationship between the BOD_CL response and the glucose glutamic acid concentration was obtained over a range of 11-220 mg O₂ L⁻¹ (6 points, n = 3, R.S.D._av 3.71%) with a detection limit of 5.5 mg O₂ L⁻¹ when using a reaction mixture and incubating for only 5 min. Subsequently, the characterization of this method was studied. First, the BOD_CL responses to 16 pure organic substances were examined. Second, the influences of chloride ions, artificial seawater, and heavy metal ions on the BOD_CL response were investigated. Real sample measurements using river water were performed. Finally, BOD_CL responses were obtained for at least 8 days when the S. cerevisiae suspension was stored at 4 °C (response reduction, 69.9%; R.S.D. for 5 testing days, 18.7%). BOD_CL responses after 8 days and 24 days were decreased to 69.9% and 35.8%, respectively, from their original values (R.S.D. for 8 days involving 5 testing days, 18.7%).
