 note = {Sediment-water distribution coefficients (Kds) were obtained in estuarine areas of four A-class rivers in
Japan. The total concentrations of stable elements and naturally occurring radionuclide (i.e., Na, Mg, K,
Ca, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Rb, Sr, Y, Mo, Cd, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu,
Pb, and U) in the estuarine water at each sampling point and in the corresponding sediment sample were
measured. Kds of most of the elements varied within one order of magnitude regarding their differences
between minimum and maximum values of each element at all the stations. However, a wide variation of
Kds of Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Rb, and La was observed. In addition, geometric means (GMs) of observed Kds
were compared with the recommended values in the IAEA Technical Report Series 422 (TRS-422). The
results showed that GMs of Kds for most of the elements agreed well with the recommended values, but
GMs of Kds for Mn, Fe, and Cd were more than 10 times lower than the recommended values. The
obtained Kd values could be important to investigate the behavior, transport, and fate of artificial radionuclide
and to assess the radiological doses in estuarine areas.},
