Title: Radiocontamination of the Environment and its Effects on the Mother and Fetus III, PART I–RETENTION OF CESIUM 137 DURING PREGNANCY: AN INTER-LABORATORIES STUDY

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0020-708X(70)90147-X
Keywords: radiocontamination, environment, cesium 137, strontium 90, pregnancy
Abstract: The determination of cesium 137 and strontium 90 in human placments was carried out in different laboratories in Japan and Canada, in order to standardize the radioassay procedures. Placentas from normal term deliveries were collected and measured for a period of 12–16 months in the Tokyo and Osaka areas in Japan and in the Montreal area in Canada.
Two procedures required the ashing of the entire placenta prior to radioassay. In the Tokyo group, the ashed organ was placed in a two NaI crystal system, in an almost 4π geometry, and the γ radiation was measured. The Osaka group continues the chemical separation of cesium by precipitation with chloroplatinate; the β radiation is then further measured with an anticoincidence system.

Title: Dynamic modeling of the radionuclides transfer within hydrobiocenosis and assessing the consequences of radioactive contamination for biota and human
Author: Kryshev, Alexander Ivanovich
Reference: Obninsk, 2008
Keywords: biota, humans, radionuclides, environment, radiation monitoring, hydrobiocenosis, water reservoirs
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated assessment model of the effects of radioactive contamination of hydrobiocenosis on biota and humans, based on the information about the entry of radionuclides into the environment and the radiation monitoring data.
Title: A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF HEALTH EFFECTS IN EUROPE– TWO DECADES AFTER CHERNOBYL

Keywords: Chernobyl, environmental contamination, radioactivity, radiation activity, radiation exposure, health consequences, cancer
Abstract: This report sums up radioactive environmental contamination due to the Chernobyl accident in 1986 in various regions all over Europe (Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Sweden, Austria and Greece). Most of the radionuclides released with the reactor accident possess short-lives (e.g. 131I) of a few hours or several days and weeks or were deposed in low quantities (e.g. 90Sr). So the main focus was put on 137Cs, because this radionuclide has a long half-life (30 a), is measurable till this day and gives a presentable view of radiation exposure in contaminated regions. The decrease of 137Cs activity concentrations in soil, surface water, foodstuffs and air was shown in the course of time. The comparison of radioactive environmental contamination shows, that the 137Cs-activity concentration in nearly all media has decreased faster than the physical half-life. Part of this elaboration was also to describe the contribution of the reactor accident to the radiation exposure of selected population groups in the last 20 years. The second part of the report follows a valuation of European studies, which are linked to late health effects of the Chernobyl accident specially thyroid cancer, leukemia and other solid tumors. These studies has been discussed and evaluated. Only in countries with the highest impact like Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, an increased number of infant thyroid cancer has been observed but up to now no increases in leukemia or malignant deceases in this or other European countries can be detected

Keywords: health effects, socio-economic impacts, environment, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine
Abstract: The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 was the most severe in the history of the nuclear power industry, causing a huge release of radionuclides over large areas of Belarus, Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Now, 20 years later, UN Agencies and representatives of the three countries have reviewed the health, environmental and socio-economic consequences.

Keywords: introduction of manifold literature, environment, contamination
Abstract: There have been a great amount and range of literature published about “Chernobyl”, from scientific ones to fiction. In this journal we should like to present the manifold of the literature. Nonetheless, we pay special attention to literarute concerning contamination of environment by radionuclides, such as migration of radionuclides, ecologic consequences of the accident etc.
