Activity Stream

This study aims to assess the committed effective dose due to the intake of 210Po from the consumption of ﬁsh in Arabian Gulf countries. Twenty different kinds of ﬁsh, which represent the most common ﬁsh species consumed in the Arabian Gulf countries, were analyzed using alpha spectrometer technique. 210Po activity concentrations in ﬁsh samples were found to vary over a wide range from 0.1 to 14.7 Bq kg-1 fresh weight. This variation of 210Po concentrations between various type of ﬁsh samples might be attributed to the feeding type pattern and the size of ﬁsh. The annual committed effective dose due to ingestion of 210Po in ﬁsh species for adults in the Arabian Gulf countries was estimated and found to vary from 38 μSv in Bahrain to 85 μSv in Oman with an average value of 59 μSv. These values are considered relatively high compared to those reported in some other regions. However, it is still much lower than the world average ingestion dose due to natural radiation sources.
