Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the presence of natural radionuclides from the uranium decay chain in a coastal ecosystem in southern Mexico, which is minimally impacted by industrial activity.
- The researchers used high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry and alpha-particle spectrometry to measure the activity concentrations of uranium, radium, lead, and polonium in sediment and water samples.
- Findings revealed specific activity concentration ranges in sediment and water, establishing a radiometric baseline for comparison with other coral reef ecosystems globally.

Salamanca is the centre of a large industrial complex associated with the production and refining of oil-derived products in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. The city also hosts a large chemical industry, and in past years a major fertilizer industry. All of them followed NORM (naturally occurring radioactive materials) industrial activities, where either raw materials or residues enriched in natural radionuclides are handled or generated, which can have an environmental radiological impact on their environmental compartments (e.
