Tritium in groundwater at Little Forest Burial Ground, Sydney, NSW

The Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG) is located south of Sydney, where 79 trenches were used for waste disposal from 1960 to 1968. Groundwater (starting from 1975) were collected and analysed for tritium. Surrounding sites which include disposal of liquid chemical waste, solid human waste and municipal landfill are also known to contribute tritium to groundwater in the vicinity of the LFBG site.

小森林墓地（Little Forest Burial Ground，LFBG）位于悉尼南部，1960年至1968年间，该场地共使用79条壕沟进行垃圾处置作业。自1975年起，研究人员对该场地的地下水开展氚含量的采集与分析工作。周边场地涵盖液态化学废物处置、固态人体废物处置及城市垃圾填埋作业，这些场地同样会向LFBG场地周边的地下水释放氚。
