Strontium and calcium determination in sea fishes in neighborhood of Angra nuclear power plant

Creators

Description

Strontium-90 is an important radionuclide present in the liquid effluents of the Angra Nuclear Power Plant, located in the coastline of Rio de Janeiro State. It has a long effective half-life, easy entry into food chain due to its chemical similarity to calcium and stays for a long time in solution. With the aim of calculating the concentration factor (CF) for 90 Sr and observed ratio (OR) in the most abundant local fish, it was determined the strontium and calcium content in the edible fraction of nine species and in sea water by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
