210Po in Mytilus edulis in the Irish marine environment

Variations of 210Po and 210Pb in various marine organisms from Western English Channel: contribution of 210Po to the radiation dose

“…From our measurements, we have established that 16e37% of the polonium was in the dissolved phase at Barfleur and only 4e17% at Granville, where more polonium was associated with particles (Table 1). At coastal sites, Ryan et al (1999) and Wildgust et al (1998) indicate that 8 and 1%, respectively, of the 210 Po only is in the dissolved fraction. In ocean waters, most of the 210 Po could be in the dissolved form (73e82%: Carvalho, 1997;Masqué et al, 2002), while in estuaries, up to 62% of the 210 Po could be associated with the dissolved phase depending on turbidity (Carvalho, 1997).…”

Accumulation Pattern of Po-210 In Anadara Granosa Collected From a Coal Burning Power Plant Area

“…This is due to the slower metabolism of the larger, older and heavier animals [8,9]. Po-210 concentration in mussels is reportedly size-dependent [10]. An analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient indicates a statistically significant linear relationship between the Po-210 concentration and the total weight of cockles (r = 0.62, p < 0.01) (Figure 2), whereas the correlation between Po-210 and total length was low (r = 0.37, p < 0.01) (Figure 3).…”

Indication of Ecological Condition of the Black Sea Mussels and Their Habitat Using Natural Radionuclide Polonium-210

“…210 Po в мидиях могут быть обусловлены условиями среды, прежде всего соленостью или температурой (Hole et al, 1995), видом загрязнений (Germain et al, 1992;Swift et al, 1995;Ryan et al, 1999;Carvalho et al, 2010Carvalho et al, , 2011 и такими биологи-ческими параметрами, как стадии репродук-тивного цикла. Так как 210 Ро ассоциируется, в основном, с белками и аминокислотами (Cherry, Shannon, 1974;Wildgust et al, 1999) …”
