Radiation levels have not risen in Russia as a result of fires, including in districts contaminated after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the Russian meteorological service Roshydromet said.
"We have been intensively monitoring radiation levels – now more often than ever. No rises have been registered in radiation or background pollution levels as a result of fires," Roshydromet deputy director Valery Dyadyuchenko told Interfax on Thursday.
