Abstract

In this chapter, a general review of radioecological research and exemplarily results of radioactivity measurements carried out in the Danube freshwater ecosystem in the last 30 years are presented. Sample collection techniques and sample preparation and radiometric measurement methods, developed and applied in radioecological studies of the Danube River, are shown comprehensively. Results of radiometric analysis of bottom sediment samples, collected continuously by sediment traps and additionally by grab sampling during Danube research cruises, are given and discussed. The main goal of the radioecological research studies is the protection of the environment to manage sustainable use and conservation of the Danube freshwater resource against harmful radioactive exposure.
