In this study, ²¹⁰Po
radioactivity in tobacco and effective dose estimation from smoke inhalation
were investigated. 14 most frequently used cigarette brands in Turkey were used
for this purpose. ²¹⁰Po average radioactivity in tobacco was found
to be 25.4 ± 2.0 Bq/kg. ²¹⁰Po mean annual effective dose was found
to be 181.8 µSv/y.
