Results of forward and backward modeling of air mass transport from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to Slovakia were compared with aerosol radioactivity measurements. Several radionuclide maxima (I-131, Cs-134 and Cs-137) were observed in the Bratislava ground-level air in March-April 2011. The I-131/Cs-137 activity ratio records showed the presence of two different fresh air masses in the Bratislava air, supported by simulations of forward and backward trajectories between Fukushima and Bratislava.
