The impact of the enrichment of the radionuclide thorium in the water body caused by industrial mining on the local ecological environment

Abstract

In order to further understand the impact of industrial mining on the environment, this study conducted environmental monitoring on the radionuclide thorium content in a water body in an industrial mining area in Gansu Province, aiming to fully understand the occurrence of radioactive map elements in the area and its impact on the local. The specific impact caused by the ecological environment. The results of this paper are as follows: In the water environment surveyed this time, surface water has the highest content of radioactive thorium at 0.2μg/L, and the lowest concentration of radioactive thorium in groundwater, with an average concentration of 0.04 μg/L. And with the depth of surface water sampling, there is a negative correlation between the content of thorium in the water. This research content can provide sufficient reference materials for the occurrence of thorium in the water in industrial mining areas, and is of great significance to the related research on radioactive elements in the water.
