A survey of 90Sr and 137Cs activity levels of retail foods in Japan

An overview of measurements of radionuclides in foods of the Comunidad Valenciana (Spain)

“…In addition, human activities such as industry and agriculture may also increase background level in surrounding areas. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in measuring the levels of radioactivity of both natural and induced by human activity on the environment and therefore their potential effect in humans (Abukawa J., et al, 1998, Akhter, P., et al, 2003, Arogunjo, A.M., et al,2005, Bolca, M., et al, 2007, Choi, M-S., et al 2008, Esposito M., et al, 2002, Froidevaux, P., et al, 2004, IAEA,1989, Mahiban Ross, E., et al, 2013, Shanthi, G., et al, 2010. The natural isotopes of radioactive chains ( 232 Th and 238 U) and 40 K in the earth's crust, which can also be enhanced due to human activities, and artificial isotopes present in the environment can be all of them incorporated into human through the food chain.…”
