Abstract
⺠Tritium was bioaccumulated into organic tritium in phytoplankton cells. ⺠Green algae incorporated more tritium than the cyanobacteria. âºÂ Organic tritium was transferred from phytoplankton to blue mussels when ingested. ⺠Linear uptake of tritium into mussels indicates a potential for biomagnification. ⺠Current legislation may underestimate accumulation of tritium in the environment.
