Abstract

Measurements of anthropogenic ¹²⁹I and ⁴¹Ca in two Greenland firn cores spanning the years 1935 to 1989 have been performed by accelerator mass spectrometry. The two sets of data points measured for ¹²⁹I show a discrepancy and prevent definitive conclusions. One of the sets indicates no large increase of ¹²⁹I concentrations in contrast to precipitation at lower latitudes. Data on the ⁴¹Ca profile are preliminary and show a few points markedly above background. The feasibility of detection of ⁹⁰Sr in the environment by accelerator mass spectrometry is studied and first results are reported.
