Activity of caesium [ 134Cs and 137Cs ] and potassium [ 40K ] radionuclides in food in the sixth year after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster

In the Laboratory of Radiation Protection Division, Armed Forces Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology since 1989 systematic studies have been conducted on the levels of caesium radionuclides in the daily diet [Jednoróg and Mazur, 1991; Mazur and Jednoróg, 1993]. The presents report is a successive annual report on the studies of radiation exposure of the Polish population resulting from ingestion of caesium radionuclides with food. This long-term study permits monitoring of change:; in the distribution and migration of caesium radionuclides.
