Using the larvae of caddisfly as a biomonitor to assess the spatial distribution and effective half-life of radiocesium in riverine environments in Fukushima, Japan

The environmental monitoring survey using this organisms was called “Caddisfly Watch” and this activity has involved both scientists and local people for collecting them.A simple method is needed for the continuous monitoring of radiocesium (137Cs) contamination in riverine environments after the 20...
