Radioactivity in two tide-washed marsh areas in the eastern Irish Sea: a radiological assessment

The doses received by man from exposure to artificial radionuclides deposited onto marsh land during tidal inundation on the English side of the Solway Firth and the Dee Estuary have been assessed. The range of total doses received by the different marsh user groups was similar in both study areas,...
