Membranes are favored materials for water decontamination due to their solute selectivity, handling robustness, and easy operational process without extra energy input.
If these findings are validated and confirmed, they can provide information that reduces some of the uncertainties in retrospective radiation dosimetry and radiation risk estimates (especially for low-level, chronic exposures) for activities related to medicine as well as the handling of nuclear materials and nuclear facility decommissioning, decontamination, and demilitarization.
Public health measures such as decontamination of chicken meat and improved food handling behaviour at the individual level are urgently needed.
