Short summary
We use deposition measurements to trace the source of the radioactive isotope 106Ru released into the atmosphere in 2017, which led to detections in Europe and other parts of the Northern Hemisphere. Most frequently, measurements of air concentration are used for such purposes. Our research shows that, while air concentration data can provide more precise results, deposition measurements can still effectively pinpoint the release location, offering a less costly and more versatile alternative.
