Abstract
Sediment cores were collected at the Cananeia-Iguape Estuary and thelevels of 210Pb, 226Ra and 137Cs were measuredby gamma-ray spectrometry. The total 210Pb levels in sedimentsvaried from 13.5 to 122.5 Bq . kg —1 , for 226Raranged from 2.4 to 28 Bq . kg —1 and for 137Csfrom 0.28 to 6.1 Bq . kg —1 . Sedimentation rates were calculatedfrom the slope of the excess 210Pb profile in the core. The valuesobtained varied from 5 to 10 mm . y—1 , depending on thesediment deposition inputs in the local of sampling.
