Summary presentation of the caesium-137 activity in all types of tested samples brown highlighting – average of all samples of a matrix; whiskers – maximum values. The scale is logarithmic for better representation of all matrices in one graph accommodating the over tenfold greater caesium-137 activity in game animal muscle tissue than in other matrices
