Transport of Tritium Contamination to the Atmosphere in an Arid Environment

Soil-plant-atmosphere interactions strongly influence water movement in desert unsaturated zones, but little is known about how such interactions affect atmospheric release of subsurface water-borne contaminants. This 2-yr study, performed at the U.S. Geological Survey's Amargosa Desert Researc...
