BUGHER:

One case of bone tumr, as I recall, was 3 microgram cf

(contimed )

vadiun bedy burden,
One case was 1.7 nicrograms,

What is the value cf that ene lady in Chicago - « heavy body
burden ani is still alive.

EISEN s

We've got one in Sew York with 15 miorocuries and she's had
it for 40 years.
So you would say that 10 times the tolerance dose does on

eceasion produce serious effect,

Right.
If ve were to go ecntrary to the international agreement and
tock 10 mlorceuries as ths tolerance doses cf strontium, if
uniformally distributed, then that would mean that 100 sloro~
curies would give serious effects ami that would be ix10°

neminal benbs.
MITCHELL:

I would like to raise cne cther question with regard tc the
rediun figwe.

‘That is the population riek in the study cases

of radium is of the order cf 2 billion people your 200 pecple
might very well aiss say 1 percent of the 2 iillicn who have
a mich lower tolerance than these figures suggest.
