Abstract
Reference is made to a recent article by Soldat entitled 'Radiation Doses from /sup 129/I in the Environment' (Health Phys. Jan 1976) in which it is claimed that human and bovine consumption estimates were used in arriving at /sup 129/I thyroid doses which do not conform to observed consumption data. It is claimed that the disparity between the consumption data for milk, leafy vegetable and beef and the feed intake estimates for beef cattle is sufficient to produce /sup 129/I thyroid dose estimates that are considerably elevated. Using consumption data here advocated a modified table of thyroid dose estimates from unit concentrations of /sup 129/I in air is presented.
