Effects of aging of radioactive fallout on timely decontamination of concrete using low and mild pressure washing [PDF]

Heliyon
Timely decontamination will reduce the consequences of a radiological contamination event. For this purpose, pressure washing can be rapidly deployed, but its effectiveness will change if the interactions between the surface and radionuclides changes as ...

Concentrations of 137Cs in forest mushrooms and soil in southern Poland [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Research
Since 1986, Poland has been constantly contaminated with radioactive 137Cs, and before that, it experienced fallout like most of the world since nuclear bomb tests. As a result of radioactive fallout, vegetation and fungi acquired contamination.

Radioactive fallout and neural tube defects

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2015
Possible link between radioactivity and the occurrence of neural tube defects is a long lasting debate since the Chernobyl nuclear fallout in 1986. A recent report on the incidence of neural defects in the west coast of USA, following Fukushima disaster,

Radionuclides in Milk: A Global Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis and Probabilistic Human Risk Assessment [PDF]

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Meta‐analysis and human risk assessment of radionuclides in milk. ABSTRACT This study conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of radionuclide concentrations of Cesium‐137 (Cs‐137), Cesium‐134 (Cs‐134), Iodine‐131 (I‐131), Lead‐210 (Pb‐210), and Potassium‐40 (K‐40) in milk worldwide, along with an assessment of human health risks, in accordance ...

RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM FALLOUT [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1956
Hazards from /sup 90/Sr deposited in fallout following nuclear explosions are reviewed. Strontium/sup 90/ is of particular interest among the fission products because of chemical similarity to Ca, an average life of about 40 years, and a low rate of skeletal elimination.

Lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukaemia incidence in regions of Belarus most heavily contaminated by the Chernobyl accident [PDF]

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 12, Page 3161-3172, 15 June 2026.
What's new? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.

Fukushima nuclear accident recorded in Tibetan Plateau snow pits. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The β radioactivity of snow-pit samples collected in the spring of 2011 on four Tibetan Plateau glaciers demonstrate a remarkable peak in each snow pit profile, with peaks about ten to tens of times higher than background levels.

Prediction and Analysis of Nuclear Explosion Radioactive Pollutant Diffusion Model

Pollutants, 2023
This study presents a model for the dispersion of radioactive smoke clouds from a nuclear weapon explosion. A model based on a modified Settlement model is chosen to simulate the dispersion of radioactive contaminants from a nuclear explosion in the ...

Assessment of ¹³⁷Cs in the Environment of Hetauda City, Nepal by In-Situ Gamma Ray Spectrometry

Atom Indonesia, 2023
A significant amount of 137Cs radioactive fallout have been spread in the atmosphere due to nuclear weapon testing and nuclear reactor disasters. This fallout eventually settles on the Earth's surface, and because 137Cs has a long half-life, it remains ...
