In l966 to 1967 the concentration of g/sup 90/Sr in certain kinds of foodstuff that are the main source of calcium in the diet was studied. The investigation was carried out in selected regions of Czechoslovakia with different hydrometeorologic conditions and aimed at obtaining representative samples of the radionuclide level in the particular foodstuffs. As for milk, the average value for strontium contamination for 1966 amounted to 13.7 pCi/g related to calcium, the analogous values for one liter being l6.0 pCi/l (arithmetic average) and 14.7 pCi/l (weighted average). For 1967 the respective values dropped to 9.6 pCi/g Ca and 11.35 pCi/l (arithmetic average). The weighted average was not determined. For vegetables the following values were found related to calcium for 1966: carrot: 64.8 pCi/g; cabbage: 19.4 pCi/g; onion: 40.1 pCi/g. Values are also listed of the 1966 and the 1967 strontium concentration in milk, flour, and bread in three selected districts. The testiug method is believed to be a useful and practical means for the monitoring of /sup 90/Sr concentration changes. It is also believed to be sufficiently representative. (INIS)
