STRONTIUM-90 ABSORPTION BY DECIDUOUS TEETH. Analysis of Teeth Provides a Practicable Method of Monitoring Strontium-90 Uptake by Human Populations

Journal Article · · Science See Saiensu
BS>Results of analyses of 20,439 teeth collected from children in the St. Louis area during 1959 and 1960 indiiate that analysis of deciduous teeth provides accurate information conerning Sr/sup 90/ deposition in bone. Teeth and bones developing in the same biologic environment were found to accumulate Sr/sup 90/ and Ca in the same ratio. It was shown that collection of teeth can be accomplished on a large scale.
