In single months of 1957, 1958, and 1959, the lowest content of Sr-90 in milk was about one strontium unit. STAJanuary l957, September 1959!. The highest value was measured in December 1958, 12 strontium units. The content of Sr/sup 90/ increased in the autumn of 1957, when several nuclear tests had occurred. This increase was high in the winter of 1958/59 as a result of larger series of nuclear tests in 1958. Since autumn 1959, the activity of the fall-out has fallen rapidly. By February 29th, 1980, it had decreased to about 1% of that measured during the second half of 1959. This fact ie due to the temporary stopping of nuclear tests on November lst, 1958. The influence of the French nuclear test of March, 1960 will be the matter of a future report. (auth)
