| Abstract |
The tritium concentration in body water of children was determined from samples of urine taken from two children in each of nine Institutional Total Diet Sampling stations. The tritium concentrations in body water of children gradually decreased from about 1.5 nCi/liter to less than 0.2 nCi/liter during the period, January 1967 to December 1968. Several anomalies were noted. The dose equivalent from tritium for standard man was calculated to be 0.15 mrem for 1967 and 0.13 mrem for 1968. The dose equivalent for children varies according to age and is roughly 0.1 mrem for a 13-year-old child. (Author) |
