²¹⁰Po bioaccumulation by mushrooms from Poland
2003
Skwarzec, B. | Jakusik, A.
The paper presents results on ²¹⁰Po activity concentration measured in mushroom samples collected in northern Poland (Białogard and Elbląg areas). Among 20 species of wild mushrooms, King Bolete (Boletus edulis), accumulated ²¹⁰Po in the highest degree. Therefore this species of higher mushrooms is an excellent bioindicator for ²¹⁰Po radioactivity in the land environment. Finally, the effective dose of polonium emission was calculated for a consumer of King Bolete. Wild mushroom consumption contributed up to 37 µSv to the effective dose in an individual consuming about 5 kg (fresh weight) of heavily contaminated Boletus edulis species per year.
