Abstract

Activity concentrations of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in the species Mytilus galloprovincialis from Croatian Adriatic coast were determined. The samples were collected in thirteen sampling places which are also a part of Croatian Mediterranean mussel watch project. The results of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb activity concentrations were found to vary between (22.1±2.5)-(207±21)Bqkg^-1 fresh weight and (2.8±1.4)-(9.3±0.7)Bqkg^-1 fresh weight, respectively. ²¹⁰Po/²¹⁰Pb ratio ranged between 6.2 and 30.7. The highest measured activities were found in the enclosed basins of the Neretva channel, where the majority of Croatian mussel cultivation is taking place. The estimated consequent average total annual effective ingestion dose due to ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb from mussel consumption in Croatian coastal region is 202±99μSv with 96% contribution of ²¹⁰Po to the total effective dose.
