  • Application of a Mass Balance Partitioning Model of Ra-226, Pb-210 and Po-210 to Freshwater Lakes and Streams
    Application of a mass balance partitioning model of Ra-226, Pb-210 and Po-210 to freshwater lakes and streams Submitted by: Kevin John Britton Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science degree specialization in Chemical and Environmental Toxicology (Earth Sciences) Department of Earth Sciences Faculty of Science University of Ottawa Supervisors: Robert Jack Cornett† (Department of Earth Sciences) Ian D Clark (Department of Earth Sciences) Co-Supervisors: Trevor J Stocki (Department of Earth Sciences) Adrienne LM Ethier (Department of Earth Sciences) Thesis Committee: Clément Bataille Laurel Sinclair 2018 November 15 © Kevin John Britton, Ottawa, Canada, 2018 Abstract The objectives of this thesis were: (1) to develop a mass balance partitioning model of the natural uranium-238 series comprising radium-226, lead-210 and polonium-210 and (2) to apply the model to estimate the source and fate of these radionuclides in freshwater lakes and streams. Samples were collected from Ottawa River watershed tributaries and measured for lead-210 and polonium-210 content to determine the water concentrations that were input to the model. The radium-226 partitioning model was developed by reconstructing and analyzing Quantitative Water, Air, Sediment Interaction (QWASI) models of lead for Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour and selecting parameters for an updated QWASI model of lead for a Lake Ontario basin. This study gave insight about model basis definition, and partition coefficient and sediment particle constraint. The radium-226 series model was formulated by connecting separate QWASI modules for radium-226, lead-210 and polonium-210 with decay and ingrowth terms.
