Abstract
Since the Chernobyl accident it has been recognised that agriculturally produced foods are not the only important food types which contribute to the radiation dose received by man. The transfer of radiocaesium to ‘wild food’ products (e.g. edible fungi, freshwater fish, game animals) is often much greater than that to agriculturally produced foodstuffs. The accumulation of radiocaesium by certain species of edible fungi for instance, results in radiocaesium levels that are far in excess of most other foods consumed by man.
