Description

Like in other European countries, due to the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 the radioactive contamination level of the biological chain increased significantly in Hungary. The external and internal dose burden had a low-dose effect on plants ranging within the dose interval of stimulation and thus exhibiting a biopositive influence on the physiological functions.
