Iodine-131: A Potential Short-Lived, Wastewater-Specific Particle Tracer in an Urbanized Estuarine System

The short-lived, fission-produced radioisotope, 131I (t 1/2 = 8.04 days), was detected in wastewater, surficial sediment, and suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples collected from New York Harbor (NYH) between 2001 and 2002. Iodine-131 is used as a radiopharmaceutical for medical imaging, diagno...
