A series of radiochemical analyses of Sr-90 in stillborn bones was run in the first semester of 1958. The bones were all collected in Rio de Janeiro. The analytical method was the one recommended by the Health and Safety Laboratory U.S.A..A.E.C. Two samples were analyzed by the procedure of Kulp et al. (1957) with slight modifications. The results obtained, expressed in Sunshine Units ( mu mu C average of ten samples of 0.51 plus or minus 0.19 mu mu C Sr-90/g Ca. The results are of the same order of magnitude as the ones found by other laboratories in different countries. This seems to confirm that the contamination by Sr-90 is more or less uniform over large areas of the world. On interpreting these results however it should be taken into consideration that the bones analyzed belonged to children of indigent mothers, who have a very low intake of calcium in their diet.
