following the fukushima nuclear accident, a large volume of monitoring data has been collected about the soil, air, dust, and seawater, along with data about an immense number of foods supplied to the market. little is known, however, about the effect of radioactive fallout on agriculture, information about which is vital. although more than 80% of the damaged area is related to agriculture, in situ information specifically for agriculture is scarce. this book provides data about the actual movement and accumulation of radioactivity in the ecological system—for example, whether debris deposited on mountains can be a cause of secondary contamination, under what conditions plants accumulate radioactive cesium in their edible parts, and how radioactivity is transferred from hay to milk. because agriculture is so closely related to nature, many specialists with different areas of expertise must be involved in answering these questions.
