Strontium-90 Levels in the Diets and Bones of Children. Progress Report - 1962-1963

Abstract

Since children have a high rate of bone formation their skeleton tends to follow readily the changes in levels of Sr-90 in the diet, this being especially true during the first year of life. Knowledge of correlating parameters between diet and bone in that periód is therefore particularly important to estímate children's body burdens resulting from different environmental conditions.
