The book deals with various consequences of major nuclear
accidents, such as in 1986 in Chernobyl and in 2011 in Fukushima.
The public is extremely interested in learning more about the
movements and risks posed by radiation in the environment related
to food supply and food safety. Radionuclides are found in air,
water, soil and even in us not only after nuclear accidents because
they occur also in nature. Every day, we ingest and inhale
radionuclides in our air and food and the water. This book provides
a solid underpinning of the basic physical-chemistry and
biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthrop radioactivity.
The mechanisms of radioactive element transfer in the atmosphere,
tropospheric and stratospheric diffusion of radioactivity,
environmental contamination from accidents and the impact of
atmospheric pollution on the food chain, soil and plants, are
analyzed and the analytical methods are illustrated. The question
of natural radioactivity concentration in building materials is
addressed too. While the book contains many case studies and data
for Greece, it is of general value. It contributes to the
development of international environmentally safe standards and
economically reasonable standard regulations based on justified
radiological, social and economical legislation concepts.
