Abstract:
Content of radionuclides in food bought on Novi Sad markets was determined by gamma-spectrometry. Milk and dairy products, cereals and cereals products, fruit, vegetable, meat and meat products, tea, herb, salt, mineral water, cacao, etc. were analyzed. The activity concentration of 20 radionuclides in each sample was determined in all foodstuffs; the average ingestion dose was estimated only for 40K and the results were compared with those of previous measurements.
