[en] Measurement of 226Ra and calcium in 588 samples of human vertebrae from 13 countries are combined with those of other investigators to describe the average global 226Ra concentration in human bone. The median population-weighted concentration is 23 fCi226Ra/g of calcium. The median concentration calculated here delivers an α dose of 0.4 mrad/yr to cells lining bone surfaces that are thought to be critical in the production of osteosarcoma. (author)
