Biomonitoring of radioactive contamination using benthic invertebrate communities in Manzala Lake, Egypt by Imam Noha, Bendary Reda E.

“…A valuable tool for monitoring the water quality of Manzala Lake is the sensitivity of invertebrate species to various types of pollution, such as radioactive contamination. Activity concentrations of radionuclides Radium-226 (226Ra), Thorium-232 (232Th), Potassium-40 (40K), and Caesium-137 (137Cs) were measured in water, sediments and benthic invertebrate samples in 2020. …”
