The annual atmospheric deposition rates of²¹⁰Po and²¹⁰Pb were determined in İzmir, Turkey. The samples were collected from 18 November 2008 to 17 November 2009. The annual²¹⁰Po deposition flux was determined as 44.1 ± 3.0 Bq m⁻² year⁻¹, while²¹⁰Pb flux was calculated as 73.1 ± 4.4 Bq m⁻² year⁻¹using bulk collectors. The monthly deposition fluxes of²¹⁰Po and²¹⁰Pb were correlated with the amount of precipitation. The activity concentrations of the samples were found to vary between 5.7 ± 1.1 and 167.1 ± 7.5 mBq L⁻¹, with an average value of 41.2 ± 1.9 mBq L⁻¹for²¹⁰Po; and between 5.3 ± 0.6 and 265.7 ± 10.8 mBq L⁻¹, with an average value of 67.3 ± 2.7 mBq L⁻¹for²¹⁰Pb. The activity ratios of²¹⁰Po/²¹⁰Pb in the samples ranged from 0.16 to 3.39, with an average value of 0.80. During the course of the study,²¹⁰Po enhancement from both natural and anthropogenic sources was observed.
