SURVEYS OF RADIOACTIVITY IN HUMAN DIET AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES. Report for 1960
Results are presented from a survey of Sr/sup 90/ in human diet in the United Kingdom during 1960. Data are included from a country-wide survey, which enabled the assessment of the mean ratio of Sr/sup 90/ to Ca in the average diet of the population, and local studies in areas where the quantity of Sr/sup 90/ was likely to exceed the average. Measurements were also made of Sr/sup 90/ in herbage and soil from representative pastures throughout the country, and Cs/sup 137/ in milk produced in the United Kingdom during 1960. Results are included from experimental studies of factors affecting the passage of Sr/sup 90/ through food chains. Limited data are also included on Sr/sup 90/ in selected foods from Australia, the Republic of Ireland, and the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. (C.H.)
