Article Synopsis
- Uranium, a natural radioactive element, can exist in the air as aerosol and poses health risks due to its radioactive properties, especially related to nuclear energy activities.
- A new field method was developed for rapid detection of uranium in air samples, involving absorption with a nitrate solution and reaction with a solid reagent kit, followed by measurement with a portable photometer.
- The method successfully identified uranium concentrations in air samples over low-grade ore, yielding accurate results with a 1.72% relative standard deviation (RSD), offering benefits of simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and high accuracy compared to traditional methods like ICP-MS.
