Detailed Description

Map of tritium concentrations in soil-water vapor at a depth of 0.5 meter, Amargosa Desert Research Site (ADRS), Nevada. Soil-water concentrations are inferred from measured plant-water concentrations and predictive relations between plant-water and soil-water-vapor concentrations. Concentrations are given in bequerels per liter (Bq/L). One Bq/L (one decay per second) equals approximately 8.47 tritium units. Modified from figure 5-A, Andraski and others, 2005.
