[Protection of the Croatian population from accidental radioactive contamination of the food chain].
Arhiv za higijenu rada i toksikologiju, 1993 The paper indicates the importance of investigating radionuclide translocation in the human food chain, and the contribution of selected food components in total exposure of the population after accidental radioactive contamination. Data on radioactive contamination and risk assessment of the Croatian population after the Chernobyl nuclear accident are
