Evaluating Health Effects of Radioactive Contamination of Food and the Environment
Japanese people are concerned about internal exposure to radiation through the consumption of contaminated food and water and external exposure due to environmental contamination. Using the coefficient of 0.05 Sv-1 for the overall risk of dying from cancer and radiation doses derived from Cs-134, Cs-137 and I-131, the degree of exposure and risks were ...

The Challenges of Domestic Wastewater/Sewage Systems for Māori Communities
The development of domestic wastewater systems in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand has presented a significant challenge for Māori communities. While those communities have supported attempts to address the pollution of land and waterways through modern treatment methods, the solution has included continuing discharges of sometimes untreated and often

Characteristics of exposure to radioactive iodine during a nuclear incident
During a nuclear accident, numerous products of nuclear fission are released, including isotopes of radioactive iodine. Among them is iodine-131, with a half-life of 8.02 days, which emits β radiation. For decades, it has been effectively and safely used
