The application of the linear model will be shown for cesium-137 and strontium-85 ions. Cs-137 and the different strontium isotopes, especially Sr-90, are important components of nuclear wastes. As seen previously in Table 3.2, the cesium ion has a different sorption property on bentonite samples from the Sajobabony deposit, depending on geological origin and composition. Similarly, different bentonite rocks from the Carpathian Basin (Table 3.4) show different sorption properties, including kinetics and equilibrium (Figure 3.4, Table 3.5 Nagy et al. 2003b Konya et al. 2005).

The sorption properties of the radioactive ions can be different when the composition of rocks is more complex than that of bentonites. It is illustrated in Table 3.7, where the relative sorbed quantity of 137Cs ion in equilibrium (xCsexp) is listed for the bentonites from the Carpathian Basin and some other Hungarian rocks (Table 3.6). 

The sorption of 85Sr2+ion was studied on bentonites from the Carpathian basin (Table 3.4 Nemes et al. 2006). Similar to the sorption of Cs-137, the distribution coefficients of the mineral components (Table 3.10) were calculated from the net... 

Thus it became possible to reconstruct a microstratigraphic sequence valid exclusively for the Carpathian Basin, unique not only in Europe, but also worldwide. During the last few years it has become possible, mainly by detailed analyses of avian finds, to reconstruct the faunal effects of the climatic waves of the early Pleistocene (Jdnossy, 1973b, 1976a,b, etc.). 

The overall impression of this simple fauna, the presence of the large rhinoceros [Dicerorhinus (megarhinus) jeamireti in place of D. etruscus] and the appearance of the tapir prove that, by analogy with the Carpathian Basin, the freshwater limestone at Siittd is older than the one at Dunaalmas (Lower Pleistocene, Lower Villanyian, Beremend or older substage). 

We do not know how far the hippopotamus, so common in the Lower and Middle Pleistocene of western and southern Europe, penetrated the Carpathian Basin, but this is (together with that of t)rom) the second occurrence in the thoroughly investigated fauna of the Pleistocene of Hungary. Geologically identical age of the two localities is therefore probable.

Hungary is a medium polluted country with some over-polluted areas in the Carpathian basin, and occupies 93,000 km with 10 million inhabitants. Hungary has the lowest ranking for life expectancy in Europe and the highest rate fa cancer mortality [1].
