    Open Access•Seiya Nagao, Takafumi Aramaki et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•2013•References: 25

    Characteristics of dissolved humic and fulvic acids in river waters were studied during 2003–2005 at 4 sites located in the headwaters and in the upper and lower Tokachi River, including a lowland tributary site. Fulvic acids from the headwaters to downstream areas have similar elemental composition and 13 C-NMR spectra. Humic acids have similar characteristics in the Tokachi River system. In contrast, δ 13 C and Δ 14 C values exhibit a decreasin…

  • Long-term impact of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami on functional disability among older people

    Open Access•Yasutake Tomata, Yoshinori Suzuki et al.•ARTICLE•Social Science & Medicine•2015•Cited by: 3•References: 6

    It has been unclear whether the prevalence of disability is higher in an area affected by natural disaster than in other areas even if more than one year has passed since the disaster. The aim of this ecological study was to examine whether the rate of increase in disability prevalence among the older population was higher in disaster-stricken areas during the 3 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and tsunami. This analysis used pu…

  • Source Apportionment of Atmospheric and Sedimentary Pahs From Kolkata, India Using Compound-Class-Specific Radiocarbon Analysis (Ccsra)

    Open Access•Hidetoshi Kumata, Masao Uchida et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•2024

    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major air pollutants that are ubiquitously produced by the combustion of organic materials, and it is extremely important to identify their pollution sources. In this study, molecular fingerprinting and compound class-specific radiocarbon dating (CCSRA) were performed on PAHs from canal sediments and air samples collected in Kolkata, India’s third largest city (population approximately 16 million), wher…
