This study reviews radionuclide environmental pathways and contamination. It examines Chernobyl

Area of Science:

Environmental Science
Radiological Health
Public Health

Background:

Radionuclides enter the environment from various sources, distributing through different compartments and reaching individuals.
The Chernobyl accident led to significant radioactive contamination, necessitating studies on its impact on human health.
Understanding natural radioactivity is crucial for assessing anthropogenic contamination.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline radionuclide environmental sources, transfer pathways, and measurement units.
To review existing data on human milk radioactive contamination post-Chernobyl.
To present original research on breast milk contamination in Italy and analyze natural radioactivity.

Main Methods:

Literature review of published data on radioactive contamination.
