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

Concentrations of 210Po and 210Pb 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. 210Po activity concentrations in fish samples were found to vary from ND to 400 ± 9 Bq kg−1 dry weight and 210Pb activity concentrations were found to vary from ND to 15 ± 3 Bq kg−1 dry weight. The highest dose contribution due to 210Po to humans was found to be 8.908 μSv y−1.
