摘要
Natural radioactive isotopes serve as a useful proxy of geological and geochemical processes in marine environment, while radiocesium serves as an indicator of man-made contamination. Monitoring of natural and anthropogenic radioactivity under conditions of the climate changes in the Arctic region is of high importance in investigations of this natural system. For the first time, we report the data on spatial distribution of natural (232Th, 226Ra, 40K) and anthropogenic (137Cs) radionuclide activities in the marine sediments from Chaun Bay (East Siberian Sea). The measured activity concentrations varied in the range 23.7-77.9 (mean 39.2) Bq kg-1 for 232Th, 16.5-39.3 (mean 26.6) Bq kg -1 for 226Ra, 535-991 (mean 726) Bq kg-1 for 40K, and 0.5-4.7 (mean 2.0) Bq kg -1 for 137Cs. The radiocesium level in the sediments showed no local sources of anthropogenic pollution in the Chaun Bay, while the average activity concentration of 40K was 1.8 times higher than worldwide.
