Dlstributlon and enrichment of trace elements 96105505 particles release from coal combustion
ItI
Lu, X. et al., Huanjing Huaxue, 1995, 14, (6). 489-493. (In Chinese) The trace elements Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, Cd, and Be in four different sizes of particles released from coal combustion at Qingshan Heat and Power Plant in Wuhan, China, were determined. Results showedthatmost of the trace elements had a tendency of enrichment in the small particles of micrometer size.

Barisic, D. J. Environ. Radioactivity, 1996, 31, (1). Y-70. The natural background dose rate in air above ground surface is the sum of doses arising from cosmic radiation and radionuclides in air, soil and bedrock. The resulting dose rate arising from radionuclides in soil and bedrock is the product of characteristic radionuclides specific activity soil or bedrock with the accompanying dose rate conversion factors.
The dose-response function approach to modelllng 96/05507 the health effects of air pollution Calthrop, E. and Maddison, D. Energy Policy, Jul. 1996, 24, (7), 599-607. Following from research conducted in the USA there is renewed interest in measuring the health impacts of air pollution. Direct methods of valuing the impact of poor air quality on health are likely to suffer from a variety of problems, chiefly a poor appreciation of the biological impacts of air pollution. However, indirect methods fail to account for averting behaviour and consequently provide only a lower bound on true willingness to pay. Doseresponse fut%ions have been estimated using different sorts of siatistical models with different statistical properties; and there are arguments for resorting to Poisson regression techniques rather than conventional ordinary least squares routines. The results which emerge may depend upon the nature of the data with time series data failing to capture chronic health effects.
Dynamic analysls of nucllde dlffuslon wlth Illltlta96/05506 tlon of the buffer material Hatano, Y. et al., Waste Management, 1995, 1.5, (7), 495-500. A dynamic analysis of illitization of buffer material is presented. The time dependence of the nuclide concentration is calculated with decrease of the sorption capacity taken into account. The results are compared with those from a conventional static analysis which yields an upper bound of the nuclide concentration. It is shown that the upper-bound analysis for americium-243 substantially overestimates the nuclide concentration. 96lO5509
Economic valuation and health damage from alr pollution In the developing world
Pearce, D. Energy Policy, Jul. 1996, 24, (7). 627-630. Meta studies of air pollution epidemiology have resulted in the use of transferable dose-response coefficients whereby the statistical relationship between air pollution and human health is applied outside the countries of the original studies. The aim is lo predict changes in premature mortality and morbidity. Some studies then apply economic valuations in order to see if health damage from air pollution should be treated as a priority concern in the countries to which the coefticients are applied. Preliminary work suggests that some forms of air pollution, notably inhalable particulate matter and ambient lead, are serious matters for concern in the developing world.
Effect of bentonlte and ammonlum-ferrlc(lll)-hexa96105510 cyanoferrate(ll) on uptake and ellmlnatlon of radlocaeslum In reindeer Ahman, B. J. Environ. Rndioacrivify, 1996, 31, (l), 29-50. Eight male reindeer calves were used in two experiments to evaluate the effect of commonly used doses of two caesium binders, bentonite and ammonium-ferric(III)-hexacyanoferrate(I1). on the absorption of ingested radiocaesium, and the rate of reduction of already absorbed radiocaesium.

Effect of dry density on Sr-90 dlffuslon In a compacted Ca-bentonlte for a backflll of radloactlve waste repository
96105512
Lee, J. 0. et al., Ann. Nucl. Energy, Jun. 1996, 23, (9). 727-738. The transport of radionuclides in compacted bentonite is dominated by the diffusion process. The dry densitv is an important factor in the diffusion of radionuclihes through thk compacted beitonite. Through-diffusion tests were performed to investigate the effect of dry density on Sr-90. In the diffusion tests the sample used was a bentonite taken from the southeastern area of Korea and the experimental solution was synthetic groundwater spiked with a trace of Sr-90.

Estimates of damage to forests In Europe due to emlsslons of acldlfylng pollutants
96105521
Gregory, K. et al., Energy Policy, Jul. 1996, 24, (7), 655-664. The incidence of forest damage in Germany and elsewhere in Europe in the early 1980s led to concerns of an increasing and widespread problem. The potential costs of damage were seen as being high and blame was initially placed on acid rain. This in turn led to estimates of very high environmental costs of coal and oil fired power generation. Fortunately, forest damage has not matched the worst expectations. Additionally. except in areas of high local emissions, acidifying pollutants are seen- as oniy part of the reason for forest damage. Poor silviculture and climate effects may also contribute. The paper examines the evidence for forest damage and the extent to which it can be ascribed to acidifying pollutants. 96105522

Dubourg, W. R. Energy Policy, Jul. 1996, 24, (7), 621-625. Despite the rapid growth of road transport, emissions of lead have fallen dramatically ifi reient decades, so much so that experts suggest airborne lead is no longer a health risk in developed economics. To test this proposition, recent epidemiological evidence on dose-response functions is merged with economic valuation techniques to derive an economic cost for lead emissions in the UK. While premature mortality effects are modest, it is concluded that the overall economic cost is still significant.
