Following a nuclear accident in which material is released from reactor containment into the surrounding area, there are several mechanisms for radionuclides to enter the food chain. These are primarily through (a) airborne contamination and gases being washed out of the atmosphere by rain and entering freshwater systems, the soil and adhering to vegetation, (b) seepage from the reactor containment into local soil and groundwater and (in the case of reactors close to the coast) (c) leakage into the ocean. This can result in contaminated meats via animal grazing or contaminated feed. For lactating animals this can also lead to contaminated dairy products. There may be contamination of crops, fruits and vegetables either through foliar transfer from the leaves to throughout the plant or from the soil through the root. Leakage into oceans can result in contaminated seafood.

In response to this threat to public health, several food monitoring solutions are now available to provide assurance that the levels of radioactivity in foods are below safe levels (as defined by government health organizations).

The RADeCO RAD-Pro 5 is an industry leader in back-pressure performance, reliability and ease-of-use. This pump offers flow rates up to 5 LPM respectively. And thanks to several advanced features, this pump overcomes the main causes of sampling errors – saving you time and money. The air flow display holds calibration for 30 days, even with atmospheric changes. While RADeCO air sampling pumps are known for their strength, the back-pressure capabilities of the RAD-Pro 5 are the highest in the industry for any personal sampling pump.
