CONTENT OF 137Cs, 40K, 90Sr, 210Po RADIONUCLIDES AND SOME CHEMICAL POLLUTANTS IN THE BLACK SEA MUSSELS, MYTILUS GALLOPROVINCIALIS LAM.
Keywords:
radionuclides, mercury, polychlorbiphenyls, the Black Sea mussels, the Crimean coastAbstract
The concentrations of 137Cs, 40K, 90Sr, 210Ро radionuclides, mercury and polychlorbiphenyls were determined in the Black Sea mussels collected in four different areas of the Crimean coast depending on places of sampling, the shell length of mollusks and the stages of their gonads development. The study was carried out in the framework of CIESM “Mussel Watch” Programme.
