Radiological assessment for human and aquatic wildlife

This study focusses on the impact of radiopharmaceuticals in water and their incorporation to the food chain leading to human and wildlife exposure. We present a methodology to dynamic calculate dose rates to non-human biota at the outlet of a WWTP for short-lived hospital-sourced radionuclides, based on the redevelopment of the marine biokinetic model D-DAT (Vives Batlle et al., 2008; Vives i Batlle, 2016) for freshwater biota, and extending it to a wide range of medical radionuclides. We have also developed and tested a method to calculate doses to WWTP workers and from agricultural practices.
