Sources of natural and artificial radioactive contamination in the marine environment. The Chernobyl accident produced the most severe contamination of Europe, still detectable in environmental samples, but many other sources of artificial and natural radioactivity have produced a considerable impact on the environment and a risk for the public health. In this paper a review of the most important events or industrial processes that produced contamination of the European seas is presented; moreover, attention is paid to the situation of the coastal marine environment in Italy as regards the artificial radioactivity and the human enhanced radioactivity produced by non nuclear plants.
海洋环境中天然和人工放射性污染的来源。切尔诺贝利事故造成了欧洲最严重的污染，至今仍能在环境样本中检测到，但许多其他人工和天然放射性来源也对环境产生了相当大的影响，并对公众健康构成风险。本文对造成欧洲海域污染的最重要事件或工业过程进行了综述；此外，还关注了意大利沿海海洋环境在人工放射性以及非核电站产生的人为增强放射性方面的情况。
