Since the invention of technetium (in 1937, by way of Perrier and Segre), technetium-99 and technetium-99m became so much popular within the specialized literature, the behaviour of the previous being of outrage concerning its future health effect, the latter having been used intensively in scientific checks for a few years. the data of the features and behavior of this point in nature is presently expanding exponentially. It has turn into transparent, even though, that there's nonetheless a major scarcity of data had to examine competently its burden and influence on guy and his setting. Technetium could certainly be published from nuclear installations or as a waste product from scientific purposes. it truly is mostly thought of to be hugely cellular because the anion TcOi, however it can be suspected to be without problems diminished in soils and metabolised in residing beings into decrease oxidation states. The seminar was once deliberate to examine completely the experimental effects bought in the past and to make options of particular concerns requiring additional study. This e-book provides the papers of the several periods within the order of presentation, and the conclusions drawn via 3 chat groups which dealt individually with: difficulties of assets and distribution of artificial technetium and its radiological results; the chemical behaviour of technetium in numerous ecosystems; biochemical reactions and binding with macromolecules in numerous existence structures. vi Preface The editors, including the Programme Committee of the Seminar, desire to convey their gratitude to the chairmen of the several periods for his or her precis of the crowd discussions.

La valeur des rapports d'activite est tres variable: de 20000 a 90000 chez Fucus sp. et de 1000 a 7000 chez Patella sp. Ces fluctuations sont dues aux variations des concentrations de 99Tc dans l'eau de mer et dans l'echantillon biologique. La comparaison de la moyenne des rapports observes 'in situ' avec celIe observee en laboratoire, fait apparaitre une difference importante [3, 1O]-Fucus sp. 'in situ': 50000, en laboratoire environ: 1500,-Patella sp. 'in situ': 3500, en laboratoire environ: 10.
