A baseline of natural radionuclides in water and sediment of a pristine coastal ecosystem: The Xcalak and Mahahual coral reef lagoons in the western Caribbean

In ecosystems, natural radionuclides are present in the environment and living organisms. The 238U natural decay chain produces multiple radioactive elements, such as 234U, 226Ra, 210Pb, and 210Po. These radionuclides can be found in air, water, rocks, soil, and other biotic and abiotic components,...
