Radioactivity of honeybee honey in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The contents of natural radionuclide 40-K and fission product 137-Cs in different types of honey from randomly selected honeybee keepers of the Czech Republic in 2010 have been examined. The results indicated that the activity concentrations of 40K and of 137Cs ranged from non-significant values to 132.02 Bq kg-1 and to 39.16 Bq kg-1, respectively. While the 40K activity concentrations in honey samples were distributed equally in the whole range of activities, more than 80 % of honey samples were contaminated by 137Cs activity concentration lower than 2.0 Bq.kg-1. The content of the radiocaesium increased according to the type honey in the following order: floral, floral-honeydew, honeydew honey. The activity of 137Cs in honey corresponded with the 137Cs Chernobyl radiocaesium soil contamination in sampling areas.
