A comprehensive review of eco toxicity of Cesium 137 deterioration of radionuclides pollution

Abstract

This review study provides an overview of soil and water ecosystem radionuclide cesium 137 contamination. Accidents at nuclear power plants and nuclear weapon tests are to blame for this pollution. As a result of the disasters at Chernobyl, Fukushima, Kramatorsk, and Georgia, the cesium 137 concentration in air, soil, and water has reached fatal levels. Soil, plants, bacteria, and animals all enter the food chain and are exposed to cesium, which then accumulates and causes harm to humans. Toxicology as well as innovative cesium 137 extraction methods for radioactive contamination removal was also covered in this review study.
