Review. The objective of the present special issue is to meet the needs in objective information on properties of radioactive particles released to the environment due to past practices or events. In areas affected by particle contamination, particles can bear a substantial amount of radioactivity, the radioactive contamination will be unevenly distributed, the inventories can be underestimated, and the assessment of impact and risk to human health and to the environment can be biased and suffer from unacceptably large uncertainties if radioactive particles are ignored.
