Surveys investigated the perceived threat of radioactive fallout and public coping following a "silent disaster" (Chernobyl) across Europe. Survey data from national representative samples in 12 European countries are compiled, 6 months and 2 years after the accident, across 12 countries. Exposure to information about the accident, and perception of the consequences of Chernobyl as a health threat, were significantly related to the level of fallout in each country. Another significant relationship was found between the level of fallout in these 12 countries and the proportion of respondents who reported having taken countermeasures. Information challenges for the authorities are highlighted.
多项调查研究了欧洲各地在“无声灾难”（切尔诺贝利事故）后公众对放射性沉降物的感知威胁及应对情况。收集了事故发生6个月及2年后12个欧洲国家具有全国代表性样本的调查数据。接触事故相关信息以及将切尔诺贝利事故后果视为健康威胁的认知，与各国的沉降物水平显著相关。此外，在这12个国家的沉降物水平与报告采取应对措施的受访者比例之间也发现了显著关系。文中强调了当局面临的信息挑战。
