Strontium-90 in the US diet, 1982
Description
Estimates of 90Sr intake via the total diet in New York City and San Francisco have been made since 1960 from quarterly food samplings and average consumption statistics. The dietary intake of 90Sr has decreased from the maximum levels attained during 1963-1964, but the decline has become more gradual in recent years due to the continuing small amounts of 90Sr deposition and the little-changing cumulative deposit of 90Sr in soil. The annual intake in 1982 averaged 5.4 pCi/day (0.20 Bq/day) in New York, and 2.6 pCi/day (0.096 Bq/day) in San Francisco, little changed from the previous year. Further gradual reductions in 90Sr intake are anticipated during 1983. 1 reference, 7 figures, 4 tables
