摘要

Concentrations of heavy metals in the environment have been increasing for several centuries as a result of industrial operations. Particularly, the introduction of radionuclides from man-made nuclear sources has posed a new challenge to the natural environment. The Chernobyl NPP accident in 1986 led to radionuclide contamination in most countries of Eastern and Western Europe. The fate and transport of these radionuclides, as well as associated risks to public health, are a growing concern. Radionuclides incorporated in natural and agricultural products and consumed as foodstuff, construction materials, etc. can contribute significantly to the human dose. Agricultural ecosystems can be relatively well handled by appropriate remedial action, but countermeasures for natural and semi-natural ecosystems have not been comprehensively developed and applied. Contamination in these ecosystems will continue to pose a danger in times to come.; This study presents a generic dynamic model, FORESTPATH, that describes the major kinetic processes and pathways of radionuclide movement in forests and natural ecosystems and which can be used to predict future radionuclide concentrations. The model calculates the time-dependent radionuclide concentrations in different compartments of the forest ecosystem based on the information available on residence half-times in two forest types: coniferous and deciduous. Results of model simulations show that forests can efficiently accumulate the activity released in the environment and that the understory, tree and organic layer are the major sink compartments contributing to the human radiation dose. The FORESTPATH model reproduces well the radionuclide cycling pattern found in the literature for deciduous and coniferous forests. Variability analysis has been used to assess the relative importance of specific parameter values in the generic model performance.; The FORESTPATH model was successfully applied in a general evaluation of remedial policies for contaminated forests. Deposition patterns and remediation schedules are both important in planning efficient countermeasures. FORESTPATH can be used as the core of a decision-support system for site remediation and planning.; Given their high complexity, traditional sampling programs often provide only limited and fragmented information for the natural ecosystems. A model-directed sampling program which implies a close feedback between sampling and modeling has been developed and is now being applied by an international team of USA, EU and CIS members in the Chernobyl NPP Exclusion Zone. More than 200 samples were collected and analyzed to gain data on the radionuclide partition in compartments of Chernobyl forests. Results of both 1994 and 1995 sampling programs have enabled the FORESTPATH model to be validated.
