In order to assess the danger you need to monitor realtime exposure to radioactive particles. There is no measurements here. It seems the data exists in Europe but not publicly accessible which is a shame.
The Tchernobyl accident released a lot of radioactivity in the air.
The soil contamination is twofold :
- spotty : some rocks that blew thru the explosion highly contaminated some spots.
- distributed : the plume contaminated the soil with material of different half-lifes.
The problem here is that trees are recycling organic matter that was tainted by radioactivity and so, if they burn they release it in floating materials.
We cannot infer something meaningful from the plume's direction as the atmosphere has high-flowing air currents in upper atmosphere that redistribute the pollution.
Only a raise of radioactivity in realtime measurements will tell. I'm sure the effect can be seen in Europe currently, yet no one wants to scare people so information is hidden.
- morsch 6y ago"The Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring (REM) group of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission provides qualified information about the level of environmental radioactivity to the public, Member States, European Commission and European Parliament." https://remap.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Advanced.aspx https://remap.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Advanced.aspx "We believe in building something that matters. Something that has a positive impact on the lives of many. This is why we have created uRADMonitor, because our bodies are fragile and because pollution is harmful both to us and to the environment. So we have designed a worldwide network of automated monitors, as a first line detection and warning system against the harmful chemical and physical factors around us." https://www.uradmonitor.com/ https://www.uradmonitor.com/
- jojo2000 6y agoyes, great resource. Still, I know there exists and official network of radiation detection in Europe yet data is not accessible (except maybe here [0]) and we would need historical data to see fluctuations over natural threshold (more than 24H) [0] https://era.org.mt/en/Pages/Ionising-Radiation-Monitoring-Stations.aspx https://era.org.mt/en/Pages/Ionising-Radiation-Monitoring-St...
- morsch 6y agoThat's the same data I posted (Radioactivity Environmental Monitoring, EURDEP), in a smaller frame. As for historical data, the REM map easily lets you go back to March... I'm sure the older data is available, too.
- jojo2000 6y agomy bad, didn't look at the options enabling wider time frame, thanks !
- jojo2000 6y agoI couldn't find a single radioactivity sensor in europe urad's network. regarding the first website, I couldn't find a way to have a range bigger than 24h.

- simpss 6y agoAll EU citizens have access to public sector datasets. If you know who is gathering/organizing the data, shoot them an e-mail and they should give you the data. This right comes from the "European Code of Good Administrative Behaviour" Article 22. https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/et/publication/en/3510 https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/et/publication/en/3510
