English-Finnish translations for fallout

  • laskeumaRadioaktiivinen laskeuma saastutti myös maaperän, mikä lisäsi laskeuma-alueelta metsästä kerättävän ravinnon ja maataloustuotteiden radioaktiivisuutta. Fields were also contaminated with radioactive fallout, which increased the radioactivity of forest and agricultural foodstuffs from the affected areas.
