Removal/adsorption of
137Cs from the water and blockage of the uptake into the mice, by the naturally occurring ancient shellfish fossil(ASF), were examined, as an adsorbent in stead of zeolite or prussian blue. As a result, selective adsorption ability of ASF for
137Cs was revealed. Adsorption/fixation of radioactive caesium included in the soil, fire ash and water, along with Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant accident, is going to examine by using ASF in future. Besides, decontamination from the worker with cleansing cold cream and the soap containing ASF will be carried out.
