Sažetak
Polonium-210 (210Po) naturally occurs in the marine environment at low concentrations, but may become a health concern because of its high degree of bioaccumulation and occurrence as by-product of fertilizers, oil, and phosphoric acid industries. Baseline data on 210Po concentrations in Mediterranean coastal areas are, however, sparse. This is why, in the framework of the newly launched Phase II of the CIESM Mediterranean Mussel Watch Programme, CIESM joined forces with ENEA and IAEA to organize an international training workshop "Polonium-210 (Lead-210) Survey in the Adriatic Sea - 2008" This initiative allowed drawing the very first distribution map of 210Po levels in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) at the scale of the Adriatic sub-region.
