Radioiodine and radiocesium in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece due to the Fukushima nuclear accident.

Abstract:

:Radioiodine ((131)I) in air and rainwater as high as 497 μBq m(-3) and 0.7 Bq L(-1), respectively, as well as (137)Cs and (134)Cs in air as high as 145 μBq m(-3) and 126 μBq m(-3), respectively were recorded in Thessaloniki, Northern Greece (40°38'N, 22°58'E) from March 24, 2011 through April 09, 2011, after a nuclear accident occurred at Fukushima, Japan (37°45'N, 140°28'E) on March 11, 2011.
