Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book provides a post-disaster analysis of the biogeochemical pathways of artificial radionuclides. It synthesises global research following the 1986 Chernobyl accident to map how radioactive isotopes migrate through the atmosphere, soil, and aquatic ecosystems. The text focuses on the environmental behaviour of specific radionuclides, such as Caesium-137 and Iodine-131, detailing their transfer into the food chain and subsequent impact on human health. By evaluating the data gathered from the contaminated zones of the former Soviet Union and across Europe, the contributors establish a rigorous scientific framework for predicting radionuclide distribution in future nuclear emergencies. The work remains a foundational technical reference for radioecologists, providing the data necessary to refine global safety standards and decontamination protocols. -- Sir Frederick Warner (1910-2010) was a distinguished British chemical engineer and a fellow of the Royal Society, known for his leadership in assessing the environmental consequences of nuclear accidents. Roy M. Harrison is a Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Birmingham and a leading expert in atmospheric science and pollution.
