the protection of the natural resources and contribute to the establishment of regulatory guidelines regarding the release of U in the natural systems.
Field and laboratory studies of particular sites using natural waters, aquatic
organisms, sediments, soil, plants, and selective chemical extraction methods focusing on the characteristics of tropical areas may improve understanding this topic.
Site-specific investigations are required in order to enable more efficient land-use
planning. This is undeniably important, since each site is unique in respect of their
characteristics and dynamic of environmental and geochemical processes, which
have effects on the mobility of U in the soil-water-biota system.
