Analyses were carried out of various organs of

Mr. Kuboyama 200 days after he had exposed himself

to radiation of the atomic bomb explosion on Bikini

Atoll, March, 1954.

were decidedly higher than those found in the control
samples obtained from individuals who died of other
than the so-called radiation sickness.

Radiation

dose received by the bones of Mr Kuboyama was calcu-

lated to be approximately 8 r.e.p.

STRONTIUM-90 IN MAN.

125, 219-225 (Feb. 8, 1957).

Science

The world-wide average strontium-90 content of man
was about 0.12 micromicrocurie per gram of calcium

(/10,000 of the maximum permissible concentration)

in the fall of 1955.

A few values of high as 10

times the average have been obtained.

This vilue

is in accord with the predicted value based on fallout measurements and fractionation through the soilplant-milk-human chain. With the present burden of

strontium-90, this average level should rise to 1 or

2 micromicrocuries of strontium-90 per gram of calcium.
