Although radiation exposure is associated with hypothyroidism, its excess among fallout-exposed children has not been previously quantified.
Physical and chemical properties measured in source soils and sediment included fallout radionuclides (137Cs, excess 210Pb), major and minor element geochemical constituents, total organic carbon and particle size.
To tackle this problem and to complement a preceding study (Brandt et al., 2016), we introduce here an advanced approach that integrates compound-specific δ13C isotopes (CSSI) and fallout radionuclides (FRN), Excess lead-210 (210Pbex) and Cesium-137 (137Cs) to estimate past net erosion rates of dominant land use types in the mountainous catchment Chieng Khoi (207 ha, Northwest Vietnam).
Now, the banks that were most dependent on that strategy are being questioned by investors — in some cases to the irritation of bank executives who say they are being tarred by fallout from lending excesses in which they had no part.
The premature lines are partly fallout from the excesses of their clubbing days - "We've tanned it since we were 17," says Jez Williams - but also, one suspects, the result of the losing streak the trio endured in the years following their solitary hit, 1993's Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use).
This study, published in 1984, found a 61% excess of cancer and leukemia in the fallout area.
Amid the fallout of the GSA scandal and other excesses at conferences held by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Internal Revenue Service, the White House hurriedly directed agencies in 2012 to slash most travel and conference budgets by 30percentt.
In recent years, the use of fallout radionuclides and more particularly caesium-137 (137Cs) and excess lead-210 (210Pbex) has been shown to provide a very effective means of documenting rates of soil loss and soil and sediment redistribution in the landscape.
