The role of bioindicators in assessing radioactive contamination

G. Marović ; Institut za medicinska istraživanja i medicinu rada, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The paper is a survey of investigations into radioactive contamination of selected plant and animal species (bioindicators) which have the capacity for multiple accumulation of fission products. Literature data on the contamination of bioindicators are compared with special reference to the accumulation of 131I, 137Cs and 90Sr as a result of atmospheric nuclear experiments and the nuclear accident at Chernobyl.
