According to a recent study published in the ACS's Environmental Science and Technology journal, radioactive wild boar are roaming Central Europe as a result of nuclear blasts from the mid-twentieth century.
Cesium-soaked truffles from post-World War II weapons tests in Central Europe, as well as the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, have resulted in an unexpected result: radioactive wild boar roaming forests and fields, rendering them unsafe for human consumption.
According to a recent study published in the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Environmental Science and Technology journal, Europe was drenched with radioactive cesium contamination following the Chernobyl power plant tragedy four decades ago. The majority of the radioactivity was cesium-137, but there was also cesium-135, a significantly longer-lived form produced by nuclear fission. Most wild animals' cesium-137 levels have decreased over time, but what caught researchers' interest was why wild boars' radioactiv...
