Management methods of reducing radionuclide contamination of animal food products.

Examples are given of general management methods that will reduce the contamination of domestic food producing animals. Such methods will decrease the radiation exposure of the animal which could be of importance for its health and long-term production of food but more importantly in the short term they will decrease transfer of radioactive contamination to animal food products, i.e. milk, meat, offal and eggs. The most important radionuclides contaminating food products of animal origin, 90Sr, 131I and 137Cs, are specifically discussed in detail. By choosing proper general management methods it is possible to decrease the transfer of contaminating radionuclides to animal food products by an order of magnitude or more.

[The strength of evidence of the food inspection after the Chernobyl accident proven by whole body measurements of Basel students].

The radioactive contamination of the food consumed by the inhabitants of Basel after the Chernobyl fallout has been continuously controlled by our laboratory. The activity of ingested Cs-137 has been estimated and is compared here with the activity obtained through whole body counts. The satisfactory correlation between calculated and observed body activities enables an exact estimation of the people's doses applying the same model and demonstrate the reliability of the food control analysis.
