Concentration of Radium and Uranium in Foodstuffs and the Accumulation of These Elements in Human Teeth

摘要

A connection has been shown between the concentration of radium in drinking water and its concentration in the human body. However, it is unclear whether its uptake from water or foodstuffs determines the amount of accumulation. The concentration of radium and uranium in foodstuffs and in water and in the teeth of residents from two regions of the Volga River was investigated to identify the daily intake into the human body.
