Abstract
⺠We estimated plutonium inflow from the Vistula River catchment area to the Baltic Sea. ⺠We found differences in Pu activities depending on season and sampling site. ⺠The highest amount of 239 + 240Pu was transported in spring and the lowest in summer. ⺠Annually, the southern Baltic Sea is enriched with 89.0 MBq of 239 + 240Pu. ⺠Enhanced Pu amount in water came from snowmelt, rainfalls and leached materials.
