Abstract: For the first time, contamination levels of cesium due to the Chernobyl accident in water of highland lakes (and soils from their watersheds) of the Lake Baikal drainage basin, have been measured. The reason for this study was that the main long-range transportation of Chernobyl accident products in an easterly direction took place at high altitudes (above 2 km).
