Cesium-137 in some food samples in India
Description
The data on cesium-137 content of rice, wheat, pulses, leafy vegetable and fish or mutton samples collected from Bombay market during 1970 to 1979 period is presented in the paper. The samples after ashing were measured by gamma spectrometric techniques. The assessment of daily intake of this isotope was made on the basis of average daily intake of these food items and then compared with daily intake calculated from the results on 137Cs in composite diet samples called Thali. The average daily intake of 137Cs by people of Bombay for the 1961 and 1964 period of high fallout deposition is given
