摘要
The activity concentrations of natural (K-40) and anthropogenic (Cs-137) radionuclides were measured in the 30 most commonly consumed foods in Korea. The average activity-concentrations of K-40 and Cs-137 were 67 Bq kg(-1) and 46 mBq kg(-1) fresh weight of food, respectively. The total annual intakes of K-40 and Cs-137 by humans were 14915 and 3.64 Bq year(-1), respectively. The calculated mean annual effective doses from ingestion of the investigated foodstuffs were 92 A mu Sv for K-40 and 0.047 A mu Sv for Cs-137. Our results can provide useful background information on radiation protection in Korea, and in other countries as well.
