被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0Po has been identified as one of the main contributors to ingestion doses to humans, particularly from the consumption of seafood. The amount of Po activity concentration data for various types of seafood has increased greatly in recent times. However, to provide realistic seafood dose assessments, most Po data requires correction to account for losses that can occur before the seafood is actually consumed. We develop generic correction factors for the main processes associated with reduction of Po in seafood - leaching during cooking, radioactive decay between harvest and consumption, and sourcing from mariculture versus wild-caught. When seafood is cooked, the overall mean fraction of Po retained is 0.74 for all cooking and seafood types, with the means for various seafoods and cooking categories ranging from 0.56 to 1.03. When considering radioactive decay between harvest and consumption, the overall mean fraction remaining is 0.81 across all seafood preservation/packaging types, with estimates ranging from 0.50 (canned seafood) to 0.98 (fresh seafood). Regarding mariculture influence, the available limited data suggest marine fish and crustaceans raised with processed feed have about one order of magnitude lower Po muscle content than wild-caught seafood of the same or similar species, although this ratio varies. Overall, this study concludes that Po activity concentrations in seafood at the time of ingestion may be reduced to only about 55% compared to when it was harvested. Therefore, correction factors must be applied to any data derived from environmental monitoring in order to achieve realistic dose estimates. The data also suggest lower Po ingestion doses for consumers who routinely favour cooked, long shelf-life and farmed fish/crustaceans. However, more data is needed in some categories, especially for cooking of molluscs and seaweed, and for the Po content in all farmed seafood.

Artificial and natural radionuclides are known to accumulate in seafood worldwide and cause internal dose to seafood consumers. It has been nearly 30 years since the IAEA MARDOS global seafood dose assessment was published. Since then, world seafood consumption has increased, diet patterns have changed, and new inputs of radionuclides into marine systems have occurred. A new global assessment of seafood dose is being conducted that uses a much-expanded global database on radionuclides in seafood (Marine Radioactivity Information System -MARIS) as well as global diet data and updated parameters for dose calculation. The new assessment: (i) Evaluates 16 natural and anthropogenic radionuclides. (ii) Draws from more than 84,856 global data for biota in MARIS, from which 31,665 final activity concentration data passed quality assurance screening. (iii) Uses seafood consumption data from diet studies representing approximately 35% of the world population. (iv) Develops new correction factors for the loss of Po-210 from cooking and radiological decay as well as the decreases in Po-210 in maricultured seafood. (v) Implements a bespoke Monte Carlo application for calculating seafood dose distributions. (vi) Compiles and evaluates + 150 seafood ingestion dose estimates published in the past 30 years. The results provide well-supported estimates on the mean and distribution of background seafood dose for world consumers. This important new result provides a comparative reference for local, regional and national dose assessments; for the dose rates resulting from facility and accident releases, and for quantifying the global changes in ingestion dose from seafood over time. The assessment is being conducted within the IAEA Coordinated Research Project "Behaviour and Effects of Natural and Anthropogenic Radionuclides in the Marine Environment and their Use as Tracers for Oceanography Studies."
