Objective
Learning outcomes: After the course, the student will understand the risk analysis of physicochemically different radionuclides, and prediction of health effects. In addition, the student will understand the behavior of radionuclides in the environment.
Content
Fluxes of radionuclides and their behavior in different ecosystems. Models of radionuclide fluxes in air, water, and soil. Spatial computer modelling of radiocesium. The risk analysis based on models. Biokinetics, biophysical/biological effector mechanisms, and health effects of radionuclides. Radioecological modelling exercise. Report of the radiotoxicology part.
