福岛第一核电站（FDNPS）发生核事故后，有关对野生动物的潜在放射性影响的争论引起了人们的关注。在联合国原子辐射影响科学委员会的支持下，采用了一套最近开发的方法来计算暴露量，然后通过与编制的剂量反应关系进行比较来推断对野生动物的影响。只有大型藻类（累积剂量为 7 Gy）大大超过了相应的基准。我们推断，尽管在相对污染地区事故发生后的几周内，对个别动植物敏感终点的影响可能已经发生，但由于最高暴露水平的持续时间较短，因此对种群完整性的影响不太可能发生。评估的结论与最近对某些动物物种影响的实地观察不一致，据报道其原因已被阐明......
Following releases from the nuclear accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), contention has arisen over the potential radiological impact on wildlife. Under the auspices of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, a suite of recently developed approaches was applied to calculate exposure and thereafter infer effects on wildlife through comparison with compiled dose–response relationships. Only macroalgae (accumulated dose of 7 Gy) substantially exceeded its corresponding benchmark. We inferred that although effects on sensitive end points in individual plants and animals might have occurred in the weeks directly following the accident in relatively contaminated areas, impacts on population integrity would have been unlikely because of the short duration of the most highly elevated exposures. The conclusions of the assessment are incongruous with recent field observations of effects on some animal species, the cause of which has been reportedly exp...
