Abstract:
The concentration of
210Po in 18 kinds of common foods and processed products were determined by isotope tracing method. Then the internal dose was estimated. Results show that
210Po content in tea and cigarettes are higher, and are (16.1±0.5), (29.9±1.0)Bq/kg(dry weight) respectively. These two creatures have strong enrichment ability on
210Po. The remaining 16 kinds of food,
210Po content in the edible part are 0.029-4.78 Bq/kg (fresh weight). Based on the current measurement data, estimated annual effective dose of Chinese residents caused by food intake of
210Po is about 95 μSv/a, and relatively large contribution are grain (37.7%), vegetables (28.8%) and aquatic products (27.1%).
