| concentration and distribution of 210po in the tissues of the scallop chlamys varia and the mussel mytilus edulis from the coasts of charente-maritime (france). | polonium-210 (210po) has been analysed in the soft parts of two bivalves species, the scallop chlamys varia and the common mussel mytilus edulis, from the bay of la rochelle and ré island, on the french atlantic coast. between those sites, the highest 210po concentrations have been found in whole scallop soft parts from la rochelle, reaching 1,181 +/- 29 bq kg(-1) dry weight (dwt), a size effect being related to the highest 210po concentration in the smallest scallops. the results show a signifi ... | 2002 | 12474958 |
