Natural attenuation of Fukushima-derived radiocesium in soils due to its vertical and lateral migration [PDF]
, 2018 Processes of vertical and lateral migration lead to gradual reduction in contamination of catchment soil, particularly its top layer. The reduction can be considered as natural attenuation.

Unusual evolution of tree frog populations in the Chernobyl exclusion zone
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Despite the ubiquity of pollutants in the environment, their long‐term ecological consequences are not always clear and still poorly studied. This is the case concerning the radioactive contamination of the environment following the major nuclear ...

Public responses to the chernobyl accident [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Psychology, 1990 The reactor accident at Chernobyl caught many European nations by surprise since most risk management institutions were unprepared for an accident of the magnitude and transnational character of Chernobyl. Although confusion and contradictory advice from these institutions dominated the risk management efforts in the early aftermath of the disaster ...

Radiocesium concentrations in the lichen-reindeer/caribou food chain: Before and after Chernobyl
Rangifer, 1986 This paper reviews historical concentrations of radiocesium (Cs-137) in the reindeer/caribou food chain in Alaska. These data, along with available kinetic models which describe the movement of radiocesium through the food chain, are used to predict ...

Occupational exposure to metal welding and cataract: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Background Metal welding generates ultraviolet radiation (UVR) of cataractogenic wavelengths, and UVR emitted during welding has been associated with cataract formation, but results from prior studies are conflicting. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of epidemiological studies addressing associations between ...
