Investigation of seasonal variation of Po-210 and Pb-210 levels in patella (patella vulgata) and sea urchin (paracentrotus lividus) at Izmir Bay Urla
Project no. 20457 · Status: Kapanmış · 2019
Summary
<p>In this study, 210Pb and 210Po concentrations in patella <em>(Patella vulgata)</em> and sea urchin <em>(Paracentrotus lividus)</em> species living in rocky areas in İzmir Bay, Urla were determined seasonally, and the enrichment of these radionuclides in the marine environment was determined within the seasonal cycle. While the highest 210Po and 210Pb activity concentrations in sea urchin were found to be 58,0 and 15,9 Bq/kg, for the china hat the highest concentrations were found to be 25,6 and 7,7 Bq/kg respectively. In the study in general, the highest 210Po and 210Pb concentrations were measured in spring and winter for both species.</p>
