Assay of Strontium-90 in Human Bone in Japan, 1961-1963

Abstract

Mesurements were made on the 90Sr content in human bone samples from subjects who died during the period from 1961 to October 1963 in Japan. The most remarkable accumulation of 90Sr in human bone was found in 0-4 year age group. Considerable increases with time in the S. U. (90Sr pc/g Ca) value was also found in this group. © 1964, Journal of Radiation Research Editorial Committee. All rights reserved.
