Study on the spatial distribution of 137Cs content in bottom sediment and benthic species of Mumbai off coast
- 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai (India). Health Physics Division
Description
The observed 137Cs content in bottom sediment and benthic species of Mumbai off coast varied between 2-370 Bq kg(dry)-1and <0.08-0.4 Bq kg(wet)-1respectively. The annual estimated ingestion dose to 'general public' due to consumption of benthic species is 0.02 µSv y-1, which is infinitesimally smaller, in comparison to average annual human exposure of 3.01 mSv and also to the internationally accepted public dose limit of 1,000 µSv y-1.
