Environmental radioactivity in Denmark in 1988 and 1989

Abstract

Strontium-90, radiocesium, and other radionuclides were determined in samples from all over the country of air, precipitation, stream water, lake water, ground water, drinking water, sea water, soil, sediments, dried milk, fresh milk, meat, fish, cheese, eggs, grain, bread, potatoes, vegetables, fruit, grass, moss, lichen, sea plants, total diet, and humans. Estimates are given of the mean contents of radiostrontium and radiocesium in the human diet in Denmark during 1988 and 1989. Tritium was determined in precipitation, ground water, other fresh waters, and sea water. The {gamma}-background was measured regularly by TLD`s and a NaI detector. The marine environments at Barsebaeck and Ringhals were monitored for {sup 137}Cs and corrosion products ({sup 58}Co, {sup 60}Co, {sup 65}Zn, {sup 54}Mn). During 1988 and 1989 the expanded programme initiated after the Chernobyl accident in 1986 was brought back to the pre-Chernobyl level. (author) 212 tabs., 76 ills., 51 refs.
