but, owing to the scope of production® and to wide food distribution,
they are believed to be applicable to other areas.
Table 2 shows the milk levels, representative of the litoral area,
grouped by six-month periods together with pertinent fallout information. Milk levels are believed to be related to fallout rate and cumula-
tive deposition by the expression‘
C =aD + bd
where C = average milk level, in pc per gram of calcium
D
=cumulative deposition at the middle of the period, in millicurles per square kilometer
d = average fallout rate in the period, in millicuries per Square
kilometer per year
a and b = proportionality factors
