dc.description.abstractIt has been found that algae have a variety of health benefits, although investigations showed that they contain radiotoxic elements, including Ra-226, Th-232, K-40, and Cs-137, which may affect human health. This study is connected to activity concentration measurements of the above radionuclides in the algae supplements available in the Middle East markets. The annual effective radiation doses of measured radionuclides in analyzed algal supplements have been calculated. The highest values of annual effective doses have been estimated for Ra-226 in Ecklonia (13.39 mu Sv/y) and for Th-232 in Red Marine Algae (11.80 mu Sv/y), both from South Korea. In algal superfoods, the effective dose of Cs-137 is not significantly affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the activity levels of radionuclides are low, the naturally occurring radionuclides provide the most effective doses, and algae supplements can be considered safe.
