Description

It is difficult to predict the evolution of radioactive contamination in food. Knowledge is scarce concerning the exposure levels in different regions, the behaviour of different plant species and the interactions with other pollutants. Hence, we need to continuously monitor by measurements, to ban the use of highly contaminated foods and feedstuffs and to identify radiation contents on all food commodities accurately. The author gives and demands recommendations for diets and political consequences after Chernobyl. (DG)

Abstract (German)

Die Belastungsentwicklung der Nahrungsmittel ist schwierig vorauszusagen. Zu wenig ist ueber die Belastung in den verschiedenen Regionen, das Verhalten der verschiedenen Pflanzen und die Wechselwirkungen mit anderen Umweltgiften bekannt. Erforderlich sind daher weiterhin kontinuierliche Messungen, ein Verbot der Verwendung stark belasteter Futter- und Nahrungsmittel sowie eine genaue Deklaration auf allen Lebensmitteln. Empfehlungen zur Ernaehrung und politische Konsequenzen nach Tschernobyl werden gegeben bzw. verlangt. (DG)
