Reviews
From the reviews:
“In the book Radioactivity Transfer in Environment and Food … the question of radioactive transfer in environment and food is addressed, with a completeness that is the result of decades of research in that field. … Detailed and technically up to date, with a high scientific content, the book is useful at the didactical level too, remaining a complete tool for addressing the complex question of radioactive transfer into the environment and food.” (Massimo Zucchetti, Nuclear Physics News (International), Vol. 23 (4), 2013)Authors and Affiliations
