Artificial Radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr in the Components of the Ecosystems of the Salt Lakes of the Crimea
Journal: Journal of Marine Biology and Aquaculture
Year: 2018

In 2016, for the first time a radioecological study was made of 11 salt lakes of the Crimea to investigate the contamination of their ecosystems by 137 Cs and 90 Sr. There was a positive correlation between the salt content and the concentration of anthropogenic radionuclides 90 Sr and 137 Cs in the water of the studied groups of lakes. Absorbed doses of 137 Cs and 90 Sr radiation in aquatic plants in the lakes were 7.710-6 and 3.210-6 Gy/year, respectively, and lay within the "Uncertainty Zone"
