AB  - This review paper discusses the content of natural ( 40K, 238U, 226Ra, and 232Th) and artificial (137Cs) radionuclides in the soil of the mountains of Maljen, Tara and Kopaonik in the Republic of Serbia over 2002-2015. In addition, the paper gives radiation hazard parameters, i.e., radium equivalent activity, absorbed dose rate, annual effective dose equivalent, external hazard index, annual gonadal dose equivalent, and excess lifetime cancer risk outdoors that we calculated from the obtained content of the natural radionuclides in the soil samples. We compared the parameters to previously published results for different parts of the country and looked into the radioecological status of the investigated areas.

Uzorci zemljišta prikupljeni su u periodu od 2002. do 2015. godine na različitim nadmorskim visinama. Na osnovu sadržaja radionuklida u zemljištu odredili smo parametre radijacionog rizika: radijum ekvivalentnu aktivnost, jačinu doze, godišnju efektivnu dozu spoljašnjeg zračenja, indeks spoljašnjeg hazarda, godišnju gonadnu dozu i faktor rizika pojave kancera na području planinskih regiona Republike Srbije, i potom ih uporedili sa ranije objavljenim rezultatima za pojedine regione Republike Srbije.

AB  - Naturally occurring radionuclides and toxic elements are ubiquitous in the environment and can pose a great risk to animals health. Control of these toxic substances in animal diet is essential for animals welfare, human nutrition risk management as well as environmental protection. Our study addresses these issues by determining a content of natural radionuclides (K-40, U-238 and Ra-226), and toxic elements (Cd, Cr, As) in total of 108 samples: 36 monocalcium phosphate, 36 complete feed and 36 pig manure samples that were collected from 6 different commercial farms in the Republic of Serbia. In monocalcium phosphate the content of K-40, U-238 and Ra-226 ranged from 7.6-23.4 Bq kg(-1), 13.2-1778 Bq kg(-1) and 3.6-13.5 Bq kg(-)1, respectively. In complete feed samples, 40K ranged from 170 to 306 Bq kg(-1), U-238 from minimum detectable activity (MDA) to 9.1 Bq kg(-1), and Ra-226 from MDA-5.5 Bq kg(-1), while in pig manure K-40 ranged from 146 to 531 Bq kg(-1), U-238 from MDA-30.1 Bq kg(-1), and Ra-226 from MDA-10 Bq kg(-1). The concentrations of Cd, Cr and As in monocalcium phosphate were 0.26-14.9 mg kg(-1), 10.3-497 mg kg(-1), and 4.2-5.5 mg kg(-1), respectively. In complete feed, the content of Cd, Cr and As ranged from minimum detectable concentration (MDC) - 0.78 mg kg-1, 0.30-7.41 mg kg(-1), and 0.09-0.31 mg kg(-1), respectively. In pig manure Cd, Cr and As ranged from 0.8-2.3 mg kg(-1), 2.3-22.2 mg kg(-1), and 0.51-5.45 mg kg(-1), respectively. The obtained results showed that Cd concentration inmonocalcium phosphate exceeded the maximum permissible legislative concentrations for phosphate additives. Monocalcium phosphate is the main source of U-238 and Cr in complete feed, while Cd derives from other sources. For that reason excessive use of monocalcium phosphate can lead to high levels of these pollutants in complete feed and consequently in manure.

AB  - The aim of this study was to determine the uranium distribution and histopathological changes in broiler organs (kidney, liver, and brain) and muscle after 7 days of contamination with high doses of uranyl nitrate hexahydrate (UN), and the protective efficiency of three different mineral adsorbents (organobentonite, organozeolite, and sepiolite). During the 7 days, the UN administration was 50mg per day, and administration of adsorbents was 2g per day immediately after UN. In control group where broilers received only UN, histopathological changes such as necrosis of intestinal villi, oedema, vacuolisation and abruption of epithelial cells in renal tubules, oedema and vacuolisation of the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, and dystrophic changes in the neurons of the medulla oblongata were observed. In contrast, when the adsorbents organobentonite, organozeolite, and sepiolite were administered, no histopathological changes were observed in liver and brain. The investigated adsorbents showed the highest protective effects in liver (80-92%), compared to the kidney (77-86%), brain (37-64%), and meat (31-63%).

AB  - Mahovine spadaju u grupu bioindikatorskih organizama, jer apsorbuju radionuklide iz padavina i suve depozicije. Kao dobri pokazatelji radioaktivnog zagaĎenja, u ovom radu mahovine su iskorišćene da se odredi sadrţaj prirodnih radionuklida 40K, 238U, 226Ra, i 232Th, kao i proizvedenog 137Cs, na području četiri prigradske opštine grada Beograda: Palilula, Zemun, Rakovica i Lazarevac. Uzorci mahovina sa drveća sakupljeni su tokom proleća i jeseni 2010. godine. Posle sušenja i usitnjavanja, uzorci su mereni na niskofonskom High Purity Germanium detektoru relativne efikasnosti 30,3%. Izmerene specifične aktivnosti radionuklida su: 155-270 Bq/kg za 40K, MDA-38 Bq/kg za 238U, 5,8-41 Bq/kg za 226Ra, 5,4-25 Bq/kg za 232Th i 18-166 Bq/kg za 137Cs. IzmeĎu ispitivanih lokacija postoje razlike u sadrţaju radionuklida u mahovinama. Na primer, najveći sadrţaj prirodnih radionuklida 238U, 226 Ra i 232Th detektovan je u mahovinama na lokalitetu Zemun, a najmanji na području Palilule, dok je najveći sadrţaj antropogenog radionuklida 137Cs detektovan na području opštine Lazarevac (160 Bq/kg), a najniţi na teritoriji opštine Palilula (21 Bq/kg).
AB  - Mosses are biondicators of environmental pollution because they absorb radionuclides from precipitation and dry deposition. In this paper, the ability of mosses to absorb and accumulate radionuclides is used to determine the content of naturally occurring 40K,238U, 226Ra and 232Th, and an artificial 137Cs, in the suburban areas of Belgrade city: themunicipalities of Palilula, Zemun, Rakovica and Lazarevac. Samples of moss were collected from trees during the spring and autumn 2010. After drying and milling, the samples were measured at a low-level HPGe detector, relative efficiency of 30.3%. The measured specific activities are: 155-270 Bq/kg for 40K, MDA-38 Bq/kg for 238U, 5.8-41 Bq/kg for 226Ra, 5.4-25 Bq/kg for 232Th and 18-166 Bq/kg for 137Cs. The obtained results show differences in the content of radionuclides in mosses across the investigated sites. For example, the highest content of naturally occurring 238U, 226Raand 232Th is detected in mosses in Zemun, and the lowest in Palilula, while the highestcontent of the anthropogenic 137Cs is detected in the municipality of Lazarevac (160 Bq/kg), and the lowest in the municipality of Palilula (21 Bq/kg).

IzmeĎu ispitivanih lokacija postoje razlike u sadrţaju radionuklida u mahovinama. Na primer, najveći sadrţaj prirodnih radionuklida 238U, 226 Ra i 232Th detektovan je u mahovinama na lokalitetu Zemun, a najmanji na području Palilule, dok je najveći sadrţaj antropogenog radionuklida 137Cs detektovan na području opštine Lazarevac (160 Bq/kg), a najniţi na teritoriji opštine Palilula (21 Bq/kg)., Mosses are biondicators of environmental pollution because they absorb radionuclides from precipitation and dry deposition. In this paper, the ability of mosses to absorb and accumulate radionuclides is used to determine the content of naturally occurring 40K,238U, 226Ra and 232Th, and an artificial 137Cs, in the suburban areas of Belgrade city: themunicipalities of Palilula, Zemun, Rakovica and Lazarevac. Samples of moss were collected from trees during the spring and autumn 2010. After drying and milling, the samples were measured at a low-level HPGe detector, relative efficiency of 30.3%. The measured specific activities are: 155-270 Bq/kg for 40K, MDA-38 Bq/kg for 238U, 5.8-41 Bq/kg for 226Ra, 5.4-25 Bq/kg for 232Th and 18-166 Bq/kg for 137Cs. The obtained results show differences in the content of radionuclides in mosses across the investigated sites. For example, the highest content of naturally occurring 238U, 226Raand 232Th is detected in mosses in Zemun, and the lowest in Palilula, while the highestcontent of the anthropogenic 137Cs is detected in the municipality of Lazarevac (160 Bq/kg), and the lowest in the municipality of Palilula (21 Bq/kg).",

AB  - The use of phosphate mineral products in animal nutrition, as a major source of phosphor and calcium, can lead to uranium entering the food chain. The aim of the present study was to determine the protective effect of natural sepiolite and sepiolite treated with acid for broilers after oral intake of uranium. The broilers were contaminated for 7 days with 25 mg/uranyl nitrate per day. Two different adsorbents (natural sepiolite and sepiolite treated with acid) were given via gastric tube immediately after the oral administration of uranium. Natural sepiolite reduced uranium distribution by 57 % in kidney, 80 % in liver, 42 % in brain, and 56 % in muscle. A lower protective effect was observed after the administration of sepiolite treated with acid, resulting in significant damage of intestinal villi in the form of shortening, fragmentation, and necrosis, and histopathological lesions on kidney in the form of edema and abruption of epithelial cells in tubules. When broilers received only sepiolite treated with acid (no uranyl nitrate), shortening of intestinal villi occurred. Kidney injuries were evident when uranium concentrations in kidney were 0.88 and 1.25 A mu g/g dry weight. It is concluded that adding of natural sepiolite to the diets of broilers can reduce uranium distribution in organs by significant amount without adverse side effects.

AB  - The objective of the work was to investigate the influence of partial substitution of magnesium oxide with natural bentonite in feed mixtures used in feeding of cows during their exposure to heat stress. The investigation lasted 30 days and was carried out during last ten days of may and first twenty days of June when average air temperature in stables was 36.6±2.5oC. In the experiment there were included 30 cows of Holstein breed in first phase of lactation, which were divided into two groups of 15 cows: control (C) and experimental (E). Group C was fed with experimental mineral mixture that contained 60% of magnesium oxide during the whole investigation period. Group E was fed with experimental mineral mixture that contained 40% of magnesium oxide as well as 20% of natural bentonite. Remaining ingredients in both control and experimental mineral mixtures were the same and also contained 20% of sodium bicarbonate and 20% of zeolite in the same quantities. The control and experimental mineral mixtures were mixed into complete feed mixture (18% UP) in the amount of 1%. At the end of the investigation period, on the 30th day, there were taken samples of rumens contents for determining pH, and after that blood samples, in which, after the separation of blood serum, were determined glucose concentration, total proteins, albumin, globulin, urea, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, total bilirubin, calcium and phosphorus, as well as the activity of ALT and AST By computation there was calculated the ratio between albumin and globulin, ALT and AST, and the ratio between calcium and phosphorus. Daily allowance and milk chemical composition ( percentage of fat, proteins and dry substance) were determined at the end of the investigation period, that is on the 30th day of lactation, for each cow individually. Partial substitution of magnesium oxide with bentonite influenced milk production increase, but it was statistically insignificant. Besides that, in E group of cows, percentage of fat and dry substance in milk was significantly increased (p lt 0.05 and 0.01 respectively), while percentage of protein increase was insignificant. The substitution of magnesium oxide with bentonite had no impact on the values of examined parameters of metabolic profile, but it led to statistically significant increase of rumen contents pH values (p lt 0.05). From the obtained results it can be concluded that substitution of magnesium oxide with bentonite in feed mixtures that are used for feeding cows during summer period, can prevent rumen acidosis, which high yielding cows incline to under the conditions of elevated external temperatures. Besides that, this kind of substitution leads to improvement of milk composition, especially when percentage of fat and dry substance in milk is concerned.
AB  - Cilj ovog rada bio je da se ispita uticaj delimične supstitucije magnezijum oksida prirodnim bentonitom u krmnim smešama korišćenih u ishrani krava tokom njihove izloženosti toplotnom stresu. Ispitivanje je trajalo 30 dana i izvedeno je tokom poslednjih deset dana maja i prvih dvadeset dana juna kada je prosečna temperatura vazduha u staji bila 36,6 ± 2,5oC. U ogled je bilo uključeno 30 krava holštajn rase u prvoj fazi laktacije, koje su podeljene u dve grupe od po 15 krava: kontrolnu (K) i eksperimentalnu (E). K grupa je tokom celog ispitivanog perioda hranjena kontrolnom mineralnom smešom koja je sadržavala 60% magnezijum oksida. E grupa je bila hranjena oglednom mineralnom smešom koja je sadržavala 40% magnezijum oksida i 20% prirodnog bentonita. Preostali sastojci u kontrolnoj i oglednoj mineralnoj smeši bili su isti i u istim količinama i sadržavali su 20% natrijum bikarbonata i 20% zeolita. Kontrolna i ogledna mineralna smeša bile su umešane u potpunu krmnu smešu (18% UP) u iznosu od 1%. Na kraju oglednog perioda, 30. dana, uzeti su uzorci sadržaja buraga za određivanje pH a nakon toga i uzorci krvi u kojima su, nakon odvajanja krvnog seruma, određeni koncentracje glukoze, ukupnih proteina, albumina, globulina, uree, HDL-holesterola, LDL-holesterola, ukupnog bilirubina, kalcijuma i fosfora, kao i aktivnost ALT i AST. Računskim putem su obračunati odnosi albumina i globulina, ALT i AST, kao i odnos kalcijuma i fosfora. Dnevna količina i hemijski sastav mleka (procenat masti, proteina i suve materije) za svaku kravu pojedinačno određeni su na kraju ispitivanog perioda, odnosno 30. dana laktacije. Delimična supstitucija magnezijum oksida bentonitom je uticala na povećanje proizvodnje mleka ali ovaj porast nije bio statistički značajan. Pored toga kod E grupe krava procenat masti i suve materije u mleku bio je značajno povećan (p lt 0,05 odnosno 0,01), dok porast procenta proteina nije bio značajan. Zamena magnezijum oksida bentonitom nije uticala na vrednosti ispitivanih parametara metaboličkog profila ali je dovela do statistički značajnog povećanja pH vrednosti sadržaja buraga (p lt 0,05). Iz dobijenih rezultata se zaključuje da zamena magnezijum oksida bentonitom u krmnim smešama koje se koriste za ishranu krava tokom letnjeg perioda može preventivno da utiče na pojavu acidoze buraga kojoj su visokomlečne krave sklone u uslovima povišenih spoljašnjih temperatura. Pored toga, ovakva supstitucija dovodi do poboljšanja sastava mleka i to značajno u slučaju procenta masti i suve materije u mleku.

AB  - Herbal teas are an important part of traditional medicine in Serbia. The objective of the present study was to determine the activity concentrations of K-40 and Cs-137 in herbal tea, using the gamma spectroscopy method. The samples were collected during the period 2011-2012 in three mountain regions in Western and Central Serbia. The activity concentrations of K-40 and Cs-137 were found to be in the range of 130-1160 and 0.7-124 Bq kg(-1), respectively. The average annual effective dose equivalents from ingestion of K-40 and Cs-137 for an adult person consuming one cup of herbal tea daily were found to be 588.4-5250.2 nSv for K-40 and 4.0-706.1 nSv for Cs-137. Our investigation showed that the herbal teas originating from Maljen, Zlatibor and Tara mountains are radiologically safe for human consumption.

AB  - Radionucleides, which are commonly released into the atmosphere after accidents on nuclear plants, by atmospheric precipitation fall onto the earth, are deposited in the soil, an consequently contaminate the environment, getting into the food chain. Considering that milk represents a kind of food that is consumed by all people, especially children, with the aim to protect the population after Cernobil accident, from then to today, constant long-term monitoring of antropogenic radionucleide (137Cs) presence in milk samples has been carried out, at almost complete territory of Serbia. Beside that, immediately after the nuclear accidents in Fukushima power plants, during march and april 2011. laboratory for radiation hygiene at the Faculty of veterinary medicine in Belgrade, carried out a special monitoring of radioactivity (40K , 131I 137Cs) in dairy cow, sheep and goat milk, at 30 localities in Serbia. The obtained results showed that the activity of 137Cs, as a consequence of Chernobyl accident, in milk at the territory of Serbia was below limit detection. Despite a large distance between Japan and Serbia, traces of 131I and 137Cs were detected in sheep and goat milk samples in april 2011., but considering their low activity, they do not represent a radiation risk for population in Serbia.

Dobijeni rezultati su pokazali da se aktivnost 137Cs poreklom iz černobiljske katastrofe u mleku, na teritoriji Srbije, danas nalazi na granici detekcije. Uprkos velikoj razdaljini Japana i Srbije tragovi 131I i 137Cs detektovani su u uzorcima ovčijeg i kozijeg mleka u aprilu 2011. god, ali s obzirom na njihovu nisku aktivnost ne predstavljaju radijacioni rizik za stanovništvo Srbije.

AB  - The main aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the coal mine in Lazarevac, and the coal-fired power stations in Obrenovac, on the activity concentrations of radionuclides 40K, 238U, 232Th, and 137Cs in some parts of human food chain of people living in the surrounding area. The obtained results showed that natural environment around the examined coal mine and the coal-fired power stations are not significantly affected by the emission of primordial radionuclides. The activity concentrations of 238U in the soil around the open coal mine and the coal processing installations (66.4-76.0 Bq/kg) and in the soil around the coal-fired power stations (55.5-61.2 Bq/kg) were not significantly higher than the average values in Serbia. The significant increase in the activity concentrations of natural radioisotopes in the samples of soil, vegetation, and animal products, was not confirmed. Food of animal origin used in human consumption is safe, i. e. not contaminated by radiation.

Nivo ispitivanih radionuklida meren je gamaspektrometrijski, u uzorcima zemljišta, stočne hrane (lucerka, kukuruz), mleka krava i koza, kravljeg sira, jaja i mesa goveda, ovaca, svinja i živine.

Na području Lazarevca, uzorkovanje je izvršeno na lokalitetima Šopići, Stepojevac i Vreoci, a na području Obrenovca na lokalitetima Konatica i Ušće. Dobijeni rezultati pokazali su da se nivo aktivnosti 238U u zemljištu, na području oko rudnika uglja (Lazarevac) kretao u rasponu 66,4-76,0 Bq/kg, a na području oko termoelektrana u Obrenovcu 55,5-61,2 Bq/kg. Ove, kao i vrednosti dobijene za ostale radionuklide, nisu bile značajno više od prosečnih vrednosti za Srbiju. U uzorcima stočne hrane i animalnih proizvoda, nivo aktivnosti, ispitivanih radionuklida bio je veoma nizak i često na granici detekcije.

AB  - Animals, twenty Hubbard broiler chicks, were six weeks old and fed with 
diets of standard composition that have completely satisfied their nutritional needs. The 
chicks were randomly allotted into one of the four groups (five chicks per group) and kept in 
confinement (battery cage). At the beginning of the trial, each chick was orally contaminated 
with 137Cs of total activity of 3750 Bq. All groups of animals (control and experimental) 
received radiocaesium, while experimental groups in addition to contaminant, simultaneously 
received by 5 ml of various caesium binders. I experimental group was given organo-zeolite; 
II experimental group organo-bentonite solution and III experimental group of chicks 
received acid-activated sepiolite. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours after artificial 
contamination and administration of the binders. At that time samples of meat, liver and 
gizzard for gamma spectrometry determination of 137Cs concentration activity were taken. 
Administration of organo-zeolite lowered radiocaesium activity from 62.0 to 72.0%. Similar 
effects were recorded in organo-bentonite administration (59.8 to 67.2%), while efficiency of 
acid-activated sepiolite in decreasing radiocesium activity was lowest (24.4 to 36.0%). It can 
be said that the process of modification failed to show beneficial effects to improve 
radiocaesium binding and eliminating from digestive tract and body of broilers. Efficiency of 
protection was similar or the same as in the use of natural, unmodified clay minerals.

AB  - The objectives of the present study were to examine the level of radiocesium deposit in meat and edible organs of broiler chickens as well as to investigate efficiency of natural sepiolite in reducing 137Cs deposition in meat, liver and gizzard of alimentary contaminated broiler chickens. Broiler chickens (six weeks of age) were fed with the standard diet and each broiler was given a single oral dose of 137Cs, total activity of 3750 Bq. The broilers were divided into two groups (10 broilers per group). The group 1 was control (received only radiocesium). The broilers of the group 2, in addition to radiocesium received natural sepiolite solution (2 g sepiolite per bird). After 24 hours, all broilers, from each group, were stunned and killed. The samples of meat, (breast and legs), liver and gizzard were taken from each broiler, for gamma spectrometry determination of radiocesium activity. After 24 hours of contamination, 56 % of introduced 137Cs radioactivity was deposited in the meat (breast and legs muscles), 1 % in the liver and 2,4 % in the gizzard of broiler chickens 42 days of age. Natural sepiolite demonstrated insufficient protective action. Compared to the control group, percentage reduction (decreasing percentage) of 137Cs deposition in meat was 16%, in liver 5% and in gizzard 12%.
AB  - Cilj ovog rada je bio da se ispita stepen deponovanja radiocezijuma u mesu i jestivim organima brojlerskih pilića, kao i da se ispita efikasnost prirodnog sepiolita u smanjenju deponovanja 137Cs u mesu, jetri i bubcu, alimentarno kontaminiranih pilića. U radu su koriščeni brojlerski plići (Hubbard) uzrasta 42 dana, koji su dobili po jednu oralnu dozu 137Cs, ukupne aktivnosti 3750 Bq. Pilići su podeljeni u dve grupe (po 10 jedinki u grupi). Grupa 1 je bila kontrolna (dobijala je samo 137Cs). pilići grupe 2, pored radiocezijuma dobijali su, istovremeno, i rastvor sepiolita (2 g sepiolita po piletu). Posle 24 sata, izvršeno je žrtvovanje svih pilića. Uzorci celokupnog mesa (mišići grudi i nogu zajedno), jetre i bubca su uzimani od svakog pileta za gamaspektrometrijsko određivanje nivoa aktivnosti radiocezijuma. Ustanovljeno je da 24 sata posle kontaminacije, u odnosu na unetu aktivnost, u mesu se deponuje 56 % radiocezijuma, u jetri 1 % a u bubcu 2,4 %. Prirodni sepiolit ispoljio je nedovoljnu efikasnost zaštite. U odnosu na kontrolnu grupu, procenat smanjenja deponovanja 137Cs u mesu je bio 16%, u jetri 5% a u bubcu 12%.

abstract = "The objectives of the present study were to examine the level of radiocesium deposit in meat and edible organs of broiler chickens as well as to investigate efficiency of natural sepiolite in reducing 137Cs deposition in meat, liver and gizzard of alimentary contaminated broiler chickens. Broiler chickens (six weeks of age) were fed with the standard diet and each broiler was given a single oral dose of 137Cs, total activity of 3750 Bq. The broilers were divided into two groups (10 broilers per group). The group 1 was control (received only radiocesium). The broilers of the group 2, in addition to radiocesium received natural sepiolite solution (2 g sepiolite per bird). After 24 hours, all broilers, from each group, were stunned and killed. The samples of meat, (breast and legs), liver and gizzard were taken from each broiler, for gamma spectrometry determination of radiocesium activity. After 24 hours of contamination, 56 % of introduced 137Cs radioactivity was deposited in the meat (breast and legs muscles), 1 % in the liver and 2,4 % in the gizzard of broiler chickens 42 days of age. Natural sepiolite demonstrated insufficient protective action. Compared to the control group, percentage reduction (decreasing percentage) of 137Cs deposition in meat was 16%, in liver 5% and in gizzard 12%., Cilj ovog rada je bio da se ispita stepen deponovanja radiocezijuma u mesu i jestivim organima brojlerskih pilića, kao i da se ispita efikasnost prirodnog sepiolita u smanjenju deponovanja 137Cs u mesu, jetri i bubcu, alimentarno kontaminiranih pilića. U radu su koriščeni brojlerski plići (Hubbard) uzrasta 42 dana, koji su dobili po jednu oralnu dozu 137Cs, ukupne aktivnosti 3750 Bq. Pilići su podeljeni u dve grupe (po 10 jedinki u grupi). Grupa 1 je bila kontrolna (dobijala je samo 137Cs). pilići grupe 2, pored radiocezijuma dobijali su, istovremeno, i rastvor sepiolita (2 g sepiolita po piletu). Posle 24 sata, izvršeno je žrtvovanje svih pilića. Uzorci celokupnog mesa (mišići grudi i nogu zajedno), jetre i bubca su uzimani od svakog pileta za gamaspektrometrijsko određivanje nivoa aktivnosti radiocezijuma. Ustanovljeno je da 24 sata posle kontaminacije, u odnosu na unetu aktivnost, u mesu se deponuje 56 % radiocezijuma, u jetri 1 % a u bubcu 2,4 %. Prirodni sepiolit ispoljio je nedovoljnu efikasnost zaštite. U odnosu na kontrolnu grupu, procenat smanjenja deponovanja 137Cs u mesu je bio 16%, u jetri 5% a u bubcu 12%.",

AB  - Radiometric control of products involved in the food chain is an important part of ongoing quality control of products related to food and feed. Content of primordial and anthropogenic radionuclides in some products directly determines their quality and further methods of usage. The most common way of intake of radionuclides in the human body is ingestion (80 %) through contaminated food and water. The foods of animal origin are largely represented in the human diet. Therefore radiation control of animal feeds and animal products will contribute to producing food for human nutrition without or with low risk for health. This paper presents the results obtained by gamma spectrometric analysis of mineral additives and mixtures for pig nutrition, from imported and domestic production. In most samples examined, activity levels of natural and radionuclides made during production were in accordance with the regulations. A certain number of tested mineral supplement samples had increased levels of activity of 238U (640- 2100 Bq/kg), which was not in accordance with applicable regulations.
AB  - Radiometrijska kontrola proizvoda uključenih u lanac ishrane je važan segment stalne provere kvaliteta proizvoda vezanih za ishranu ljudi i životinja. Sadržaj primordijalnih i antropogenih radionuklida u nekim proizvodima direktno određuje njegov kvalitet i dalji način upotrebe. Najčešći put unošenja radionuklida u ljudski organizam je ingestija (80%), putem kontaminirane hrane i vode. Kako su namirnice životinjskog porekla zastupljene u velikoj količini u ishrani ljudi, kontrola hrane za životinje i proizvoda animalnog porekla omogućila bi ishranu ljudima bez rizika. U radu su prikazani rezultati dobijeni gamaspektrometrijskom analizom mineralnih dodataka, pred smeša i gotovih smeša za ishranu svinja iz uvoza i domaće proizvodnje. U većini ispitivanih uzoraka nivo aktivnosti prirodnih i proizvedenih radionuklida je bio u skladu sa propisima. Jedan broj ispitanih uzoraka mineralnih dodataka iz uvoza i domaće proizvodnje imao je povećan nivo aktivnost 238U (640 - 2100 Bq/kg), što nije u skladu sa važećim propisima.
