ABSTRACT
In 2017, the Polish public consumed on average 0.61 kg of honey, while the European average consumption was 0.7 kg (Data on honey consumption in Poland, 2014) [http://www.portalspozywczy.pl]. The main point of this study was to investigate the 210Po activity concentrations in different types of floral and non-floral honey, type of clad honey is made of and honey yield in honey available on the Polish market. Activity of 210 Po in honey ranged from 0.006 ± 0.001 to 0.384 ± 0.004 Bq kg-1 with effective dose 0.005 ± 0.001 to 0.281 ± 0.003 µSv/year. The activity in honey was measured by alpha-spectrometry. The concentration of radionuclide depends on the raw material used by bees and plant type. The highest concentration of 210Po was observed in the honeydew honey and herbal honey.
