Description
Summary:This work forms a part of the fall-out studies carried out in the Department of Radiochemistry, University of Helsinki. Its main emphasis has been on the $gamma$-spectrometric determination of the $sup 137$Cs-levels and changes herein in different environmental samples and in man after the second nuclear testing period in 1961--1962. Special attention has been paid to the aquatic foodchains of $sup 137$Cs, to the foodchain reindeer-lichen-man, and to the biological half-life of $sup 137$Cs in man and in certain fish species.
