Environmental radioactitivy in Greenland in 1979

Measurements of fallout radioactivity in Greenland in 1979 are reported. Strontium-90 (and Cesium-137 in most cases) was determined in samples of precipitation, sea water, vegetation, aniiuals, and drinking water. Estimates are given of the mean contents of 90 Sr and 137 Cs in the human diet in Gree...

Description
Summary:Measurements of fallout radioactivity in Greenland in 1979 are reported. Strontium-90 (and Cesium-137 in most cases) was determined in samples of precipitation, sea water, vegetation, aniiuals, and drinking water. Estimates are given of the mean contents of 90 Sr and 137 Cs in the human diet in Greenland in 1979. Provisional results of the 239,240 Pu and 241 Am measurements on samples from the expedition to Thule in August 1979 are presented.
