摘要
The paper presents (40)K and (137)Cs activity concentrations in muscle, bones and liver of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) from eastern and northern Lithuania. The short description of the applied radiochemical method is given. Activity concentrations of (40)K in muscle ranges between 46.06 +/- 0.43 and 110.92 +/- 4.5 Bq kg(-1) (fw = fresh weight). Average content of radioactive Cs in muscle is on the level of 5.78 +/- 0.29 Bq kg(-1). No clear relationship observed among the radionuclide concentrations in liver. The analyzed test-samples do not show elevated contamination levels when compared with results of bones of small animals (rodents or insectivorous mammals) determined previously, so no accumulation of bone seeking isotopes on higher step of the trophic chain concluded.
