Transfer of 137Cs to Infants via Human Breast Milk

The concentration of 137Cs has been measured in samples of breast milk from 12 mothers. In connection with these measurements, whole-body measurements of the 137Cs content in the mothers and their babies were performed. All studied individuals were living in two different areas in northern Sweden. T...
