Radiocaesium in wild boars in Novohradske (Gratzen) Mountains

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The monitoring of radiocaesium in the ecosystems of particular areas in the Czech Republic is necessary even decades following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. We report an evaluation of the radioactive contamination of the meat of wild boars hunted in the Novohradske (Gratzen) Mountains in the period of December 2012 to December 2019. Radionuclide Cs-137 is surveyed for food safety as a source of food chain contamination and a possible risk for human health. Overall, 654 samples of game meat from wild boars were analysed for Cs-137 activity. The Cs-137 legal limit of 600 Bq.kg(-1) was exceeded in 238 samples (36.4%) of hunted wild boar meat. Statistical analysis showed that Cs-137 activities measured in wild boar muscle in March reached lower values compared to the period from June till November (P &lt; 0.05). Higher values were reported in September (P &lt; 0.05) as well as in August (P &lt; 0.01) compared to December. A significant season-based Cs-137 level was found (P &lt; 0.000). Higher Cs-137 activities in wild boar in the winter season (November to April) are related to decreasing access to a naturally occurring diet with a lower Cs-137 content. The keepers of the wild boar in this area were ordered to comply with obligatory emergency veterinary precautions set by the Regional Veterinary Administration to analyse all hunted game meat for radiocaesium. All wild boars with an above-limit Cs-137 value had to be excluded from the food chain by hunting ground keepers and disposed of safely.
