Abstract
Vietnam has little data on radionuclide concentrations in milk, despite steadily increasing domestic consumption. Eight milk brands were investigated by gamma-spectrometry, and the resulting ingestion dose was calculated. The 232Th, 226Ra, 137Cs, and 40K concentrations varied from 0.60 ± 0.19 to 1.21 ± 0.24, 1.45 ± 0.18 to 2.45 ± 0.24, below detection limit to 0.13 ± 0.06, and 341 ± 6 to 387 ± 7 Bq/kg (dry w.t). The total average Annual Effective Dose for all age groups were similar for all brands, and concentrations are far less than the WHO guidance level. All brands are safe for consumption.
