Foram desenvolvidos métodos de determinação de urina e trítio em urina. Para o urânio foi adaptada a técnica de análise por fluorimetria em meio sólido. O limite de sensibilidade foi de 5. 10-4µg U/0,1 ml e o erro foi de cerca de 10% para concentrações em torno de 0,05 µg U/0,1 ml. Foi padronizado para o trítio o método de análise por cintilação em meio líquido. O método determina quantidades de trítio até pelo menos 8,10-3µCi/ml e o erro foi de cerca de 4% para concentrações de trítio em torno de 0,34 µCi/l. Depois de adaptadas, as técnicas foram aplicadas a amostras de urinas de trabalhadores expostos a compostos de urânio ou trítio com a finalidade de verificar possível contaminação interna por estes radioisótopos. / Abstract not available.

Deep well injection into non-potable saline aquifers of treated domestic wastewater has been used in Florida for decades as a safe and effective alternative to ocean outfall disposal. The objectives of this study were to determine the fate and transport of injected wastewater at two deep well injection sites in Miami Dade County, Florida, USA. Detection of ammonium in the Middle Confining units of the Floridan aquifer above the injection zone at both sites has been interpreted as evidence of upward migration of injected wastewater, posing a risk to underground sources of drinking water. Historical water quality data, including ammonia, chloride, temperature, and pH from existing monitoring wells at both sites from 1983 to 2008, major ions collected monthly from 2006 and 2008, and a synoptic sampling event for stable isotopes, tritium, and dissolved gases in 2008, were used to determine the source of ammonium in groundwater and possible migration pathways. Geochemical modeling was used to determine possible effects of injected wastewater on native water and aquifer matrix geochemistry. Injected wastewater was determined to be the source of elevated ammonium concentrations above ambient water levels, based on the results of major ion concentrations, tritium, dissolved noble gases and 15N isotopes analyses. Various possible fluid migration pathways were identified at the sites. Data for the south site suggest buoyancy-driven vertical pathways to overlying aquifers bypassing the confining units, with little mixing of injected wastewater with native water as it migrated upward. Once it is introduced into an aquifer, the injectate appeared to migrate advectively with the regional groundwater flow. Geochemical modeling indicated that CO2 -enriched injected wastewater allowed for carbonate dissolution along the vertical pathways, enhancing permeability along these flowpaths. At the north site, diffusive upward flow through the confining units or offsite vertical pathways were determined to be possible, however no evidence was detected for any on-site confining unit bypass pathway. No evidence was observed at either site of injected wastewater migration to the Upper Floridan aquifer, which is used as a municipal water supply and for aquifer storage and recovery.

This study investigates the runoff process and groundwater behavior in a subarctic watershed called Wolf Creek Research Basin, in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. This basin is underlain by discontinuous permafrost that is typical of high latitude watersheds. Goundwater supports the stream flow year round and dominated the hydrology in most of the study period as baseflow. The baseflow was concentrated in dissolved ions. However, the baseflow was diluted during the melt season in May and June of 2012. Multiple chemical and isotopic tracers were used to develop a robust three-component (groundwater, soilwater and precipitation) mixing model for runoff generation. The concentrations of weathering ions decreased with the increased discharge during the melt. Soilwater was responsible for about 60% of the streamwater on the hydrograph in the melt season. The infiltration of the meltwater from the snowpack and the thawed water from the seasonal frost to the baseflow existed. The tritium concentrations indicated that there was fast moving hydrogeological system within the basin. The baseflow was also characterized as relatively enriched in both 13C and 14C, and concentrated in DIC. DIC was the major loss of carbon in Wolf Creek Research Basin.Le pergélisol est grandement sous-jacent dans les bassins-versants à haute latitude. Cette étude examine le processus de ruissellement et le comportement des eaux souterraines dans un bassin-versant subarctique de Wolf Creek, à Whitehorse, territoire du Yukon au Canada. Les eaux souterraines soutenaient l’écoulement fluvial et dominaient l’hydrographe comme débit de base durant la majorité de la période d’étude. Le débit de base était concentré d’ions dissipés. Par contre, le débit de base était dilué durant la saison des fontes au mois de mai et juin 2012. Plusieurs traceurs chimiques et isotopiques étaient utilisé afin de développer un modèle de trois composants (eau souterraine, eau interstitielle de sol et précipitation) de ruissellement. Les concentrations de la déségrégation des ions diminuaient avec l’augmentation du débit durant la fonte. Les eaux interstitielles des sols étaient responsables de 60% de l’eau de ruisseau sur l’hydrographe durant la saison de fontes. L’infiltration de l’eau de fonte du manteau neigeux et l’eau du gel du débit de base existaient. Les concentrations de tritium indiquent qu’il y avait un système hydrogéologique qui se déplaçait à grande vitesse dans les limites du bassin. Le débit de base était aussi caractérisé comme étant enrichi en 13C et 14C, avec des concentrations en carbone inorganique dissous.
