Description

The paper is a survey of investigations into radioactive contamination of selected plant and animal species (bioindicators) which have the capacitr for multiple accumulation of fission products. Literature data on the contamination of bioindicators are compared with special reference to the accumulation of 131I, 137Cs and 90Sr as a result of atmospheric nuclear experiments and the nuclear accident at Chernobyl. (author) 52 refs.; 3 figs

Abstract (Serbian)

Prikazana su istrazhivanja radioaktivne kontaminacije nekih biljnih i zhivotinjskih vrsta (bioindikatora) koje imaju sposobnost vishestruke akumulacije fisijskih produkata. Usporedjeni su podaci o kontaminaciji bioindikatora iz svjetske i domacje literature s vlastitim osvrtom na akumulaciju 131I, 137Cs, i 90Sr kao posljedicu nadzemnih nuklearnih eksperimenata i nesrecje u Chernobilu
