Game as a bioindicator of the radiocontamination

Abstract

Natural and artificially produced radionuclides were determined in meat and bones of deer, boar and wild hare on hunting areas in Vojvodina (Serbia). Seven natural radionuclides and three fission products ({sup 235}U, {sup 238}U, {sup 232}Th, {sup 7}Be, {sup 144}Ce, {sup 40}K, {sup 106}Ru, {sup 134}Cs, {sup 137}Cs, {sup 90}Sr) were identified in the investigated game samples. The highest contents of the radionuclides were found in bones and meat of boars and the lowes in the bones of fallow-deer. The predominant radionuclides were {sup 40}K and {sup 90}Sr, for all of the investigated animals and their contents depended strongly upon the game species, organ type and the age of the animal. The examined breeding sites did not appear to have any effect on the radionuclide contents in game, which indicates that the radionuclides were uniformly distributed over the habitat.
