MOSCOW, March 9 – The forest areas around Ukraine's Chernobyl and Japan's Fukusima remain sources of radiation and carry a potential threat to the health of local residents, Greenpeace said.

The environmental organization carried out a number of studies and tests in Russia, Ukraine and Japan, resulting in a report dedicated to the current radiation situation on the scenes of the Chernobyl and Fukusima accidents.

The radiation pollution continues to have a negative impact on the environment and people's health in the areas, Greenpeace said in the report published on its website.
