评估放射性核素向野生物种的转移是估算生物群预计剂量的一个重要组成部分。对环境评估可能需要的许多潜在放射性核素-生物群组合的现有数据进行审查，突出表明陆地物种存在许多数据空白。在这里，我们讨论了不同的方法，已建议，以弥补这些数据差距。所有审查过的方法都有其优点;但是，在方法和数据来源方面需要有透明度，而在某些情况下，这一点目前还没有做到。此外，还需要验证各种方法，以便有信心地加以使用。讨论了提高我们预测放射性核素向野生物种转移的能力的要求，并提出了建议。
Assessment of the transfer of radionuclides to wild species is an important component in the estimation of predicted doses to biota. Reviews of available data for the many potential radionuclide-biota combinations which may be required for environmental assessments highlight many data gaps for terrestrial species. Here, we discuss different approaches which have been suggested to compensate for these data gaps. All of the reviewed approaches have merit; however, there is a requirement for transparency in methodology and data provenance which in some instances is currently missing. Furthermore, there is a need to validate the various methodologies to enable their use with confidence. The requirements of improving our ability to predict radionuclide transfer to wild species are discussed and recommendations made.
