The overall objective of the work is to provide basic underpinning research that will contribute to a quantification of the behavior of pollutants and radionuclides associated with advanced energy activities after these materials emanate from their source and are transferred through the environment to the biota and human receptor. Data is being acquired on photoinduced transformation of pollutants including reactions which take place on aerosol particles, as well as those of species which become transformed into aerosols as a result of their chemical and physical interactions. The studies also provide critical information on problems in radiation biology and include investigations of reactions of molecules, which simulate functional groups in biological systems, as they proceed following the absorption of ionizing radiation.
