ABILITY OF SOME BLACK SEA ORGANISMS TO ACCUMULATE FISSION PRODUCTS

Journal Article · · Science See Saiensu

The coefficients of accumulation of Sr/sup 90/, Cs/sup 137/, and Ce/sup 1/ >s/sup 44/ in seaweeds, eelgrass, actinia, mollusks, and crustaceans are presented. The discharge of Sr/sup 90/ into sea water from decomposing seaweed and the retention and additional absorption of Cs/sup 137/ and Ce/sup 144/ onto organic debris is discu ssed. Some observations are made about the ability of these elements to diffuse into sea water and about the relative hazard to man from Sr/sup 90/ and Ce/sup 144/ in marine life. (auth)
