Decadal stability of radiocesium inventories and soil to tree transfer in forests affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding the long-term dynamics of radiocesium (137Cs) in forests contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident requires determining when these dynamics reach a quasi-equilibrium state, in which the flux of 137Cs between soil and trees becomes ...

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2009 The paper analyses specific activity of an artificial radioisotope 137Cs in edible mushrooms and in the soil. Specific activity of 137Cs was measured in separate soil layers, in unrefined and processed mushrooms. The highest specific activity of 137Cs

Studies of 137Cs transfer in soil‐fern system
Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2005 Fern accumulates radionuclides in abundance, including 137Cs. Tranfer of 137Cs and 40K in plants which have different root systems (fern or grass), or have no roots at all (moss) was compared.

Signatures of Radiation-Induced Stress and Putative Selection on Immune Targets in Chornobyl Wolves. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Investigating the physiological and evolutionary consequences of contaminant exposure in wild populations is critical for understanding long‐term ecological impacts of anthropogenic change. However, how and why species persist, even thrive, in highly contaminated regions in the absence of humans remains a topic of much debate.

Desorption of 137Cs+ from mosses [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2002 Mosses are biomonitors that accumulate large amounts of various pollutants including radionuclides. In this work we investigated the possibility of 137Cs extraction from mosses, as well as the significance of species specificity on the efficiency of ...

Vertical distribution of 137Cs in cultivated and undisturbed areas [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2010 This paper introduces the distribution background and unique characteristics of 137Cs in cultivated and undisturbed areas. The samples were taken from three measuring points of the depth of 1 m.

Sexual dimorphism in 137Cs accumulation after chronic low dose exposure in mice [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe presence of Cesium-137 (137Cs) in the environment after nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi raises many health issues for the surrounding populations chronically exposed through the food chain.
