Wild boars in Bavaria have dug out radiation we have forgotten about

"The team set out to analyze cesium levels using 48 samples of wild boar meat collected by hunters during 2019–2021, from 11 regions of Bavaria."

"Radioactive cesium levels in 88 percent of the meat samples tested were higher than Germany's legal threshold."

"All samples exhibit signatures of mixing," write the researchers. "Nuclear weapons fallout and [Chernobyl] have mixed in the Bavarian soil, the release maxima of which were about 20−30 years apart," the team writes."

And again, they only determined the easily accessible Cesium contamination, but did not try to get at the Strontium-90 (which must be there, too)
