Abstract

In this study, the activity concentrations levels of 210 Pb and 210 Po in the edible portions of eight seafood samples collected from the Fujian coast of China were determined. The activity concentrations ranged from 0.74 ± 0.08 to 12.6 ± 1.0 Bq/kg for 210 Po and from the minimum detectable limit (MDL, 0.80 Bq/kg) to 11. 7 ± 1.1 Bq/kg for 210 Pb. The 210 Po activity concentration in all the fish organs ranged from 0.68 to 204 Bq/kg ( w.w. ), and the 210 Po activity was mainly concentrated in the stomach, spleen, heart, liver, gonad, and intestine samples. The 210 Pb activity concentration in all the fish organs ranged from the MDL to 15.2 Bq/kg ( w.w. ), and the 210 Pb activity was concentrated in the head, fish scale, and gill samples. The annual effective ingestion doses ranged from 82.8 to 255 μSv/a for all age groups, and the lifetime risk of cancers were estimated. Both the effective ingestion doses and cancer risk to humans were within the acceptable ranges.
