Abstract EN
Radioactivity in the egg was investigated.
The targeted radionuclides were the long-lived gamma emitters 228 Ra, 226Ra, and 40K.
Measurements were carried out using a high purity germanium detector.
Based on an annual intake of 29 kg, the calculated annual effective dose due to egg consumption was 79 μSv yr-1, which forms 1/4 of the 290 μSv yr-1 world average ingestion exposure from natural sources.
Hence, no radiological hazards exist from egg consumption due to the presence of the investigated radionuclides.
