Challenges in measuring 22Na in rainfall by gamma spectrometry in the city of São Paulo, Brazil

Na-22 is a naturally occurring radionuclide of cosmogenic origin with half live of 2.6 years, being a beta and gamma emitter (541keV and 1274.5keV, respectively). This cosmogenic radionuclide is mainly formed when cosmic rays interact with argon nucleus, occurring a fragmentation of this nucleus. The process of production of 22Na occur continually in upper atmosphere, lower stratosphere and rainfall is the predominantly process of deposition of cosmogenic radionuclides in terrestrial surface. Na-22 together with 7Be (T1/2) = 53.3 d, gamma ray 476.7keV) can be used as tracers in studies of aerosol transport between layers of the atmosphere. At the same time 22Na is rarely used in these studies due to its extremely low abundance in rainfall. The objectives of this work were to present the first results 22Na activity concentration measured in rainfall collected at the IPEN campus located in São Paulo, Brazil. Large volumes of rainfall samples were collected from October 2022 to April 2023, totaling 20 samples, and 22Na activity concentration was measured by non-destructive gamma-ray spectrometry using a coaxial Be-layer HPGe detector with 46% relative efficiency and associated electronic devices and live counting time varying from 250,000 s to 500,000 s; the rainfall volumes ranged from 14 L to 164 L. The collection container was previously acidified with 1mol L-1 HNO3 to avoid loss of radionuclide by absorption on the container walls. The first eight rainfall samples were collected in a catchment area of 1m2, which was not enough to measure the radionuclide, since all the determined results were smaller than the detection limit of the methodology. After these results, it was decided to increase the catchment area by collecting rainfall samples from the roof of the laboratory building, in an area of 78 m2; the container used to collect samples from this area was also acidified with 1 mol L-1 HNO3. In this new area, 12 rainfall samples were collected, however, as the volume of rainfall was very large in the rains collected, only one sample was acidified, a rainfall of 2 mm and a volume of 98 L; in the other samples, the large volume of rain did not allow the water to become acidic because the collection container overflowed with water. In the acidified rainfall sample, the result of 0.725 ± 0.252 Bq L-1 was determined for the radionuclide 22Na. With this result, it is possible to prove the importance of both the catchment area and the acidulation of the sample in the determination of trace radionuclides in rainfall samples.

Caracterização química elementar de matrizes biológicas empregando a técnica de INA

A INAA foi utilizada no estudo do uso de líquens Canoparmelia texana como bioindicador ambiental de radionuclídeos e metais em região impactada por NORM, na proposta de uso da tartaruga de água doce Trachemis scripta elegans como bioindicadora ambiental em áreas urbanas de São Paulo e com o objetivo de caracterização química elementar dos produtos derivados da Nicotiana tabacum L. Foram determinados nas irradiações realizadas no reator IEA-R1 do IPEN, os elementos As, Ba, Br, Ca, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, Hf, K, La, Lu, Na, Nd, Rb, Sb, Sc, Se, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, U, Yb e Zn usando os materiais de referência lichen, folhas de pêssego, folhas de tomate, peixe e mexilhão. Os resultados indicaram a possibilidade do uso da espécie de liquens como bioindicador de radioatividade e metais, pois as concentrações máximas obtidas de 53 ± 5 mg kg-1, 79 ± 8 mg kg-1, 135 mg kg-1 para os elementos Hf, Ta e ΣETR, foram maiores que as concentrações 1,51 ± 0,05 mg kg-1, 1,70 ± 0,22 mg kg-1 e 8,5 mg kg-1 da amostra considerada background, respectivamente, indicando o enriquecimento dos elementos citados. Nas amostras da tartaruga de água doce, os referidos elementos químicos foram determinados no casco, tecido epidérmico córneo, músculo, rim, coração e pulmões e as maiores concentrações foram para os elementos Ca, K e Na. Nas amostras de escudo epidérmico e casco foi observada a presença de Zn que pode ser uma característica da espécie ou uma contribuição do ambiente, sendo necessário mais amostras para a verificação da possibilidade de uso da espécie como bioindicador. Nos produtos derivados da Nicotiana tabacum L. comercializados em algumas regiões do Brasil, como cigarros, charutos, fumo de corda e rapé, os elementos que apresentaram maiores concentrações foram Ba, Br, Ca, Ce, K, e Zn.
Natural radionuclides in soil profiles and sediment cores from Jundiaí reservoir, state of São Paulo
2021 - GONÇALVES, P.N.; DAMATTO, S.R.; LEONARDO, L.; SOUZA, J.M.
The activity concentration of natural radionuclides in soils and sediments is dependent on many factors, such as the rock parental material, pedogenic and weathering processes, physical and chemical properties of the environment, anthropogenic sources, among other aspects. There are few studies about the levels of natural radionuclides in reservoirs in both, international and national, literature. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the activity concentrations of 238U and 232Th by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis and 226Ra, 210Pb, 228Ra, 228Th and 40K by gamma spectrometry in two soil profiles and three sediment cores collected in the catchment area of Jundiai reservoir, located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Principal component analysis was applied to verify the correlation of the activity concentrations of the natural radionuclides with physical and chemical properties of soil and sediment samples. The mean activity concentrations of the radionuclides in the soil profiles 1 and 2 were, respectively: 238U – 37(1) and 32(1) Bq.kg-1; 232Th – 91(1) and 60(1) Bq.kg-1; 226Ra – 66(1) and 51(1) Bq.kg-1; 210Pb – 35(1) and 37(1) Bq.kg-1; 228Ra – 34(1) and 27(1) Bq.kg-1; 228Th – 78(1) and 58(1) Bq.kg-1; 40K – 96(2) and 171(7) Bq.kg-1. For the three sediment cores analyzed, the average activities concentrations of the radionuclides were, respectively: 238U – 64(0.5), 47(0.1) and 44(0.2) Bq.kg-1; 232Th – 122(2), 100(1) and 64(1) Bq.kg-1; 226Ra – 74(2), 71(1) and 45(1) Bq.kg-1; 210Pb – 70(3), 56(2) and 55(2) Bq.kg-1; 228Ra – 53(1), 41(1) and 33(1) Bq.kg-1; 228Th – 100(2), 92(1) and 63(2); 40K – 316(5), 237(1) and 136(2) Bq.kg-1.
