Popis: Industrial waste was studied concerning its radioactive pollution. Using known properties of the solid state nuclear track detector CR-39 we found among a high concentration of more or less homogeneously distributed single α-tracks discrete spots of very high enrichments of α-particles created by so called hot particles. We will report about the α-activity, the concentration of hot particles and about their ability to be air borne.
