Abstract
Trace elements contents in aerosol samples as well as Cs-137 levels in fish and seawater were determined. The concentration of Al, Br, Ca, C e, Cl, Cr, Fe, K, La, Mn, Na, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Si, Sm, V and Zn were determined by ED-XRF and INAA. Data were analyzed by means of correlat ion coefficients, enrichment factors and absolute principal component analysis. Cs-137 levels in seawater varied from 0.5 to 2.2Bq.m-3 and f or fish varied from 0.01 to 0.4Bq.kg-1 of the edible part.
