Abstract
Strontium-90 and cesium-137 were determined in 40 samples of human milk obtained from 21 different communities in Alaska, as well as in polar bear, dall sheep, and harp seal milk. The average cesium-137 content (pCi per gram of ash) of all samples of human milk collected in Alaska in 1968 was only 3.3% of the average value for all samples of human milk collected in the Northwest Territories in 1967. The average strontium-90 content of the same Alaskan milks was about 10% higher than that of the human milk collected in the Northwest Territories.
