Other factors contribute to this situation, too:  New leaders are still emerging, and governmental structures are still  evolving. This creates a particular difficulty for environmentalists  who attempt to become involved in the risk assessment process. \u003cbr\u003e  New information continues to surface on the fallout from Chernobyl and  its consequences for human health. Scientists are still debating the  effects of low doses of radiation delivered over a long period of  time. This type of contamination is especially prevalent in the  Russian North, for example, as a result of the dumping of nuclear  submarine reactors into the Kara and Barents Seas. \u003cbr\u003e  This book examines the complexities of risk assessment in the FSU at  this unique time in history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401072366\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401072366\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1645-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 118\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359133266060,"sku":"9789401072366","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401072366.jpg?v=1755101852","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401072366","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
