210Pb ingestion in Akita City, Japan
- 1. Akita Univ. (Japan). School of Medicine
Description
Ingestion of 210Pb in Akita City, northern Japan was studied with food category samples and total diet samples by means of a low energy photon spectrometry. Results for food category samples revealed that the contribution of marine products to total 210Pb ingestion was the largest. Mean 210Pb ingestion of the two total diet samples was found to be 0.19 Bq d-1, and approximately 1/3 of a previous reported value which was cited in an UNSCEAR report as an example of high 210Pb ingestion by marine foods consumption.
