RE: Algae



Hi.



I remember this being discussed in the dark ages during my undergraduate

study (in geology).  We won't say how long ago that was...



So, if you go to the AGRICOLA database (it's a free database),

http://agricola.nal.usda.gov/, you will find over 400 references to

biomagnification of uranium (or radium)  



Hope this helps....

DR Aleissa



What do you mean by "biomagnification of uranium (& radium)"? Are you

asking about plants that concentrate uranium and/or radium.



If so, I've been around HP's that work at uranium mines and mills for

decades and have never heard it mentioned. I therefore assume that there

is no "biomagnification".

I have raised this inquiry few days to the list without any response. I

need information about biomagnification of uranium (& radium) by

different organism species (particular algae). Any information or

information sources is appreciated.



Regards.
