STRONTIUM 90, STABLE STRONTIUM AND STABLE CALCIUM IN SOIL, FOOD ITEMS, WATER AND HUMAN BONE IN EGYPT (U.A.R.)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4828868
Of all the items analyzed for Sr/sup 90/, edible leaves of the vegetables, molokhia and gargeir, were found to have the highest concentration of Sr/sup 90/ per unit weight. This is generally attributed to the foliar retention of fall-out and aerosol which are not diluted by natural Sr or Ca in the soil. The Sr/sup 90/ per unit weight for tomatoes was found to be relatively small. Salt water samples procured from the Red Sea at Ghurdaka were found to contain reasonable amounts of Sr/sup 90/, while sweet water of the lsmailia Canal gave relatively smaller values. The experimental data on the human adult femur and vertebra were found to indicate a very small value of Sr/sup 90/ in Sunshine Units. All of the samples were also assayed photometrically in order to assess the amount of stable Sr and Ca present. The data are tabulated. (P.C.H.)
