Radiation chemistry as a tool in earth science studies

Abstract

The study of the interaction of gamma radiation with relevant elements on our planet is important for escearth sciences to understand current phenomena that the Earth is experiencing and to suggest solutions such as the removal of dyes from wastewater. The goal of this work is to show the importance of research results in which the interaction of gamma radiation with organic compounds gives clues to solving current problems by making use of gamma radiation interaction with matter. Our results show that gamma irradiation could be an alternative to the removal of emerging contaminants, a topic of current relevance.
