Notes:
Abstract Various mushrooms and soils were analyzed for alkali metals and for radiocesium. The obtained concentration factors of the nonradioactive Cs for mushrooms are not significantly different from that for vascular plants, whereas in the case of radiocesium the values found were orders of magnitude higher. The different behaviour of natural and radioactive cesium may be due to their disequilibrium in the ecosystems. The irradiation of man due to ingestion of contaminated mushrooms cannot cause a significant health risk.
