Dose conversion coefficients to marine biota due to natural radionuclides in an oil spill accident using Monte Carlo simulation

Oil Spill on the Brazilian Coast

“…Other articles addressed the use of a International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) reference organisms (flatfish, crab, and brown seaweed) to assess marine biota exposure due to uranium and thorium series radiation (Protásio et al 2022), as also the temporal monitoring of contamination on the occurrence of remaining contaminants in sandy beaches (Bontempo Filho et al 2022) and methods to manage contaminated coastal areas, with the aim to contribute to the management of the environmental crisis caused by disasters through the use of online collaborative mapping by volunteer collaborators (Citizen science) (Souto & Batalhão 2022). The description of the incident scenario from the perspective of Brazilian Federal Government (Barbeiro & Inojosa 2022) was also considered, and the use of social media data to understand how the 2019 Brazilian oil spill influenced social initiatives (Almeida et al 2022).…”
