Activity levels of super(210)Po and super(210)Pb in some fish species of the Izmir Bay (Aegean Sea)

Concentrations of super(210)Po and super(210)Pb were determined in the edible muscle tissue of twelve species of marine fish collected from Izmir Bay in the Aegean Sea Region of Turkey during the 2006-2007. super(210)Po activity concentrations in fish samples were found to vary from ND to 400 plus o...

Description
Summary:Concentrations of super(210)Po and super(210)Pb were determined in the edible muscle tissue of twelve species of marine fish collected from Izmir Bay in the Aegean Sea Region of Turkey during the 2006-2007. super(210)Po activity concentrations in fish samples were found to vary from ND to 400 plus or minus 9 Bq kg super(-1) dry weight and super(210)Pb activity concentrations were found to vary from ND to 15 plus or minus 3 Bq kg super(-1) dry weight. The highest dose contribution due to 210Po to humans was found to be 8.908 mu Svy super(-1).
