Algae exposure pathways

[Joule Kerma <joule_kerma@yahoo.com>]

Radsafers,

What are the likely exposure pathways to man from
freshwater algae contaminated with Co-60 and Cs-137?

I'm looking for details on the biomultiplication
mechanism as well as concentration factors.

Bioaccumulation factors for fish and inverterbrates
are found in several publications. Anyone know if
these factors consider the contribution from algae or
do the factors reflect only direct water to fish
transport?

Thanks,
