Abstract In a global‐scale nuclear war, massive explosions, intense heat, and radioactive fallout would cause extensive harm to humanity and ecosystems. Further, previous studies of even regional‐scale nuclear conflicts show that the smoke from large‐scale fires caused by such weapons could lead to global‐scale ozone loss.

Consequences of the Chernobyl accident for reindeer husbandry in Sweden
Large parts of the reindeer hearding area in Sweden were contaminated with radioactive caesium from the Chernobyl fallout. During the first year after the accident no food with activity concentrations exceeding 300 Bq/kg was allowed to be sold in Sweden.

GENERALIZATION OF FACTORS FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF RADIONUCLIDES IN WATER MIGRATION
This article supplements the previous publication on the principles of radioecological monitoring. It describes in more detail the procedure for the selection of factors affecting the mobilization (or remobilization) and aqueous removal of 90Sr.

From “Modern Midas Mineral” to “Satanic Substance”: Uranium, Unions, and the Atomic Age
Uranium mining and export was a major flashpoint for political debate in 1970's Australia. However, there has been relatively little investigation into how uranium was understood and contested before this time. This paper draws on labour movement publications and other archival sources to reveal lesser‐known antecedents to the anti‐uranium movement in ...

Tsunami events over the past 500 years inundated Laguna Gemela West (Chile), leading to distinct sandy deposits in the lake record. This provides a complete perspective on tsunami inundation, including giant tsunamis, small local tsunamis and tsunamis that originated >100 km away from the site.

Association of Air Pollution With Adiposity Rates in Active Runners and Inactive People
ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this cross‐sectional study is to investigate the association between long‐term air pollution (AP) exposure and adiposity, primarily visceral fat and secondary body fat in runners and inactive participants. Methods This study included 945 individuals (male n = 505 and female n = 440).

Radiocesium in lichens and reindeer after the Chernobyl accident
After the Chernobyl accident the sampling and measuring program of the Finnish Centre for Radiation and Nuclear Safety was intensified both for surveillance and research purposes. The deposition pattern of radionuclides was more complicated than from the
