Özet

Lichen samples collected before and after the Chernobyl accident were analysed for radiocesium activity. Cs-137 activity was detected in some samples collected before Chernobyl. Cs-134 and Cs-137 were detected in all the samples after the accident. The levels of the total cesium activity counted in the samples proved that the eastern region of the Black Sea was affected by Chernobyl at a very high degree compared with other parts of Turkey.
