Transfer of Natural Radionuclides in Terrestrial Food Chains : A Review of Investigations in Finland
Transfer of natural radionuclides 210 Pb, 210 Po, 238 U, and 228,230,232 Th in subarctic food chains has been studied in Finland since the 1960s. The unique food chain lichen-reindeer-man related to Sami people in Finnish Lapland and other food chain options, from berries or mushrooms to man, have b...
