Health risks linked to radionuclide toxicity in foods. Chapter 13
Original language description
Abstract Radionuclides are present in the environment or result from human activities, such as the use of radiation or nuclear technologies. The presence of radionuclides in foods can pose certain health risks, and their toxicity depends on several factors, including the intake of radionuclides, the type of radionuclide, its concentration, and the specific characteristics of the food. Under typical situations, the contributions of internal exposure to the human body from food or water, where only trace concentrations of usually natural radionuclides are present, are minor in most cases. Slightly different situations may occur when food, due to radionuclides from man-made sources used in various applications in industry and medicine or radioactivity induced during radiation sterilization of food, shows an increased level compared with the natural background concentrations. But even here, there is no reason to consider the impact on living organisms to be serious since the increase in exposure levels is only a fraction of exposure due to the natural background. The chapter will present an overview of the health risks attributed to the toxicity resulting from exposure to foods contaminated by radionuclides of various origins.
