Abstract

This paper presents the results of measurements of137Cs and134Cs content in air sampled during May 1986. Maximum concentrations:137Cs 2.94±0.01 Bq m−3 and134Cs 1.38±0.01 Bq m−3 were registered on May 3. Several other long lived radionuclides having γ-energies in the region 33 keV to 1365 keV were registered in the same samples two years later. The results of measurements of the total β-activity in air for the same period are also presented.
