Abstract: The distribution and migration of radionuclides released into the environment following the Chernobyl accident in 1986 are described. The Chernobyl disaster resulted in the consumption of farm products containing radionuclides as a source of irradiation of the population due to the prevalence of a rural type of human nutrition in the affected region. This analysis demonstrates that if radiation standards protect humans, then biota are also adequately protected against ionizing radiation.
