The paper presents unique data of plutonium²⁴¹Pu study in seabirds from northern Eurasia, permanently or temporally living at the southern Baltic Sea coast. Together, ten marine birds species were examined, as follows: three species that permanently reside at the southern Baltic, four species of wintering birds, and three species of migrating birds; 366 samples were analyzed. The obtained results indicated plutonium was non-uniformly distributed in organs and tissues of analyzed seabirds. The highest²⁴¹Pu content was found in the digestion organs and feathers, the lowest in muscles. Also, the internal radiation doses from²⁴¹Pu were evaluated.
