چکیده انگلیسی
The Arabian Gulf is a semi-enclosed water body that has witnessed accelerated anthropogenic activity, in terms of commissioning of nuclear power plants, desalination facilities, oil refineries and extensive coastal development. Furthermore, three wars during the past three decades is a potential worry. This study presents the first plutonium baseline in seawater from the Northern Arabian Gulf. The 239 + 240Pu concentrations in seawater vary, between 2.9 and 4.9 mBq m− 3, a range that is comparable to other water masses at this latitude. The 238Pu ranged between 0.04 and 0.05 mBq m− 3 and the 137Cs concentration between 1.04 and 1.18 Bq m− 3. The ratio of 238Pu/239 + 240Pu at all eight sampling stations was 0.01, while the ratio of 239 + 240Pu/137Cs varied between 0.01 and 0.02. The presence of 137Cs and 239 + 240Pu in seawater from this region can mainly be attributed to the global atmospheric deposition and fluvial transport. The seawater concentration of 239 + 240Pu is five order of magnitude lower than bottom sediments in the area.
