Map showing the sampling point.
A blue circle indicates the location of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. White circles indicate the sampling point of cattle. The number indicates the number of cattle captured on each site. Modified from the 2-km mesh soil contamination measurement [21] using a System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA) geographic information system (GIS) computer program [22].

Fig 2.
Correlation analysis between internal dose rate and external dose rate.
The dot plot shows the correlation of internal dose rate with external dose rate in cattle in the ex-evacuation zone. r and p is Pearson’s correlation coefficient and p value, respectively.
Fig 3.
Correlation analysis between dose rate from radiocesium and plasma protein levels.
The dot plots indicate the correlation analysis of plasma protein levels with the internal, external or total dose rate in cattle. White circles indicate the values of 4 males and black circles indicate the values of 45 females. r indicates Pearson’s correlation coefficient. p values were Shown in S2 Table.
