This research examined the levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials (210Po and 210Pb) in hazel bolete mushrooms collected from Polish forests. The study found that these mushrooms do not significantly concentrate these radioactive elements from soil, and consuming them poses minimal radiation risk to humans. Impact on everyday life: – Confirms the radiological safety of consuming wild mushrooms – Provides data for environmental monitoring and food safety assessment – Helps understand how mushrooms interact with radioactive elements in soil – Contributes to knowledge about natural radiation exposure through diet
