Design and development of a geo-referenced database to radionuclides in food

摘要

The primary purpose of the range of activities concerning the info management of the environmental assessment is to provide to scientific community an improved access to environmental data, as well as to support the decision making loop, in case of contamination events due either to accidental or intentional causes. In recent years, geotechnologies became a key reference in environmental research and monitoring, since they deliver an efficient data retrieval and subsequent processing about natural resources. This study aimed at the development of a georeferenced database (SIGLARA - SIstema Georeferenciado Latino Americano de Radionuclideos em Alimentos), designed to radioactivity in food data storage, available in three languages (Spanish, Portuguese and English), employing free software[1].
