| radiocesium concentration in migratory birds wintering in spain after the chernobyl accident. | levels of 137cs and 134cs resulting from the chernobyl nuclear accident were studied in 195 birds that winter in two regions of spain. only five of the 12 species examined were contaminated. the average values for 137cs vary between 1.6 and 41 bq kg-1 fresh. in particular, the contamination for song-thrushes (turdus philomelos) are compared between the regions of extremadura and valencia, 350 km east of extremadura at the same latitude. the results show that the contamination of birds wintering ... | 1988 | 3198396 |
| radioactivity measurements on migrating birds (turdus philomelos) captured in the comunidad valenciana (spain). | the radionuclides 137cs, 134cs and 90sr have been measured in edible tissues and bones of migratory birds (song-thrushes, turdus philomelos) from central and northern europe and captured in the comunidad valenciana, spain in the 1994 autumn-winter season. eight years after the chernobyl accident, extensive agricultural lands in europe are still contaminated and this study shows that there was a transfer of radioactive isotopes to the captured migratory song-thrushes. the whole-body dose commitme ... | 1998 | 9514036 |
