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