Abstract: | The activity concentrations, ratios and seasonal fluctuations of plutonium isotopes in ground-level air in Northern Germany are reported for the years 1990 to 1997. The 239+240Pu activity concentrations (a) measured on quarterly samples lie in a range 0.4 nBq/m3<a<4 nBq/m3. The 238Pu activity concentrations are lesser by up to a factor of 0.1 (0.1 nBq/m3<a<0.8 nBq/m3). The total activity concentration shows a typical seasonal fluctuation in the time period under review. In a few quarterly samples the activity ratio of a(238Pu)/a(239+240Pu) is significantly increased. |
