Description
In the paper there are presented the results of plutonium 238Pu, 239'240 and 241Pu determination in different samples of Baltic Sea environment. 238Pu, 239'240 and 241Pu isotopes were measured in alpha spectrometer and 241Pu results were calculated indirectly by activity measurements of 241Am isotope ingrowth from β-emitting 241Pu in 16-18 years after Chernobyl accident. The results indicate that the Baltic organisms accumulate plutonium from environment and the bioaccumulation factors (BCF) range from 100 for fish to 27000 for priapulida and only 0.1% of total plutonium is deposited in living organisms. The results of 241Pu determination indicate that after Chernobyl accident the highest activity ratios 241Pu/239'240Pu were found in suspended matter (1500) and water (140). (author)
