dc.description.abstractThis research presents the levels and distribution of 210Po in different sediments of the northeastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The 210Po activity concentrations were measured using an alpha spectroscopy system. The activity concentrations of 210Po in the sediment samples were in the range between 20.5 +/- 0.7 and 92.8 +/- 1.6 Bq kg-1 dw with an average of 48.2 +/- 1.4 Bq kg-1 dw. The microorganism-enriched sampling sites (bedrock sites) indicated low 210Po concentration than sandy coastal sites. As a result of these measurements, the RESidual RADioactivity (RESRAD) biota code was applied to calculate the tissue concentration rate (CR), internal dose rate, external dose rate, and total dose rate of the exposed tissues. The total dose rates of aquatic animals were found higher than that of riparian animals. The 210Po sediment resource doses to aquatic and riparian animals were found less than the dose level recommended by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).en_US
