Abstract
The whole body concentration ratio (CR) of 137Cs, 85Sr and 65Zn for Chinese minnow (P. oxycephalus) and earthworm (E. andrei) were experimentally measured in a laboratory. The mean CR (Bq/kg fresh per Bq/l) of Chinese minnow was 3.5 for 137Cs, 11.0 for 85Sr, and 9.8 for 65Zn, respectively. The mean CR (Bq/kg fresh per Bq/kg) of earthworm was 4.4 × 10−4 for 137Cs, 1.7 × 10−3 for 85Sr, and 1.4 × 10−3 for 65Zn, respectively.
