title: Determination of210Po and210Pb in red-capped scaber (Leccinum aurantiacum): bioconcentration and possible related dose assessment.
abstract: The paper presents the studies on210Po and210Pb activity determination in red-capped scaber (Leccinum aurantiacum (Bulliard) Gray) collected in northern Poland. The aims of the studies were to determine210Po and210Pb content in analyzed mushrooms, evaluate the bioconcentration levels, and estimate possible related annual effective radiation dose to mushrooms consumers. The activities of210Po and210Pb in red-capped scaber were un-uniform and depended on sampling sites. But210Po and210Pb activity concentrations did not reflect their concentrations in topsoil. The results showed that the consumption of analyzed mushrooms should not increase significantly the total effective radiation dose from210Po and210Pb decay.
