Content of polonium-210 in food products of Bulgaria

Abstract

Most of the Po-210 entering the human organism is associated with food products. The content of Po-210 in various food products is given as follows in picocuries/kg: 0.88 for meat, 1.25 for milk, 2.75 for bread, 0.19 for egg (content in one egg), 6.70 for wheat, 1.27 for corn, 0.90 for potatoes, 1.20 for beans, 1.84 for cabbage, 1.26 for tomatoes, 1.64 for pepper, 0.50 for onions, 1.2 for apples, 1.35 for pears, 2.20 for prunes, 1.24 for grapes and 0.07 for water. The data compare well with literature data. The daily intake of Po-210 with the diet varies from 1.61 to 2.08 picocuries for different age groups of individuals. Most of this amount is eliminated via the urine (70 to 80%) and the feces. 9 refs. (SJR)
