STRONTIUM-90 IN THE TOTAL DIET

Journal Article · · Health Physics (England)
OSTI ID:4049468

Total diet samples from 26 cities and milk samples from 8 cities were analyzed. Analytical data are given in terms of Sr/sup 90/ and Ca as well as in Sr units 9 mu mu c Sr/sup 90//g Ca), for both types of samples. The variations in the ratios of Sr units in the total diet tc those in milk, ranging from 0.94 to 1.74, indicate that milk is not a reliable index of the Sr unit level of the total diet, and that only total-diet studies will yield good approximation of the Sr/sup 90/ ingested in any given locality.
