Chernobyl Fallout
Description
One of the most dangerous contaminants deposited over European
countries following the Chernobyl accident in April 1986 was
radioactive cesium. To study cesium transfer from contaminated soil
to plants, researchers collected soil samples and samples of mushroom
mycelia from 17 wooded locations in Umbria, Central Italy, from August
1986 to November 1989. The data are measured concentrations (Bq/kg)
of cesium in the soil and in the mushrooms.
Usage

Format
A data frame with 17 observations on the following 2 variables.
MushroomCesium concentrations in mushrooms (in Bq/kg)
SoilCesium concentrations in soil (in Bq/kg)
