A. Wiechen et al., ECOLOGICAL CAUSES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF R ADIOCESIUM CONTAMINATION OFMILK AFTER THE CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT, Kieler Milchwirtschaftliche Forschungsberichte, 49(2), 1997, pp. 95-102
The radiocaesium contamination of milk decreased quickly to a low leve
l all over the Federal Republic of Germany soon after the Chernobyl ac
cident. Despite a very different deposition the values of caesium in m
ilk approached each other over the whole area of Germany. This paper d
escibes the ecological effects which contributed to this development.
