Concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere have increased
dramatically over the last century and many of these changes are
attributable to anthropogenic activities. The influence of acid
rain has been well studied, but there has been no extensive
exploration of other pollutants, such as toxic chemicals, heavy
metals and radionuclides. Natural ecosystems, especially forests,
tend to accumulate many of these pollutants which subsequently can
affect ecosystem health. These contaminants may be very damaging to
the environment in Eastern Europe, where the rapid disappearance of
forest is the result not only of contamination but also of poor
forest management practices. The current book is designed to reduce
the uncertainty in our current knowledge of forest radioecology.
The three topics it embraces are (a) Modelling, (b) Measurements
and Data, and (c) Countermeasures and Risk Assessment.
