Abstract
Summary A study was conducted regarding theselenium content of eggs and milk, as well as that of private and public water supplies, in the counties of Klamath, Jackson, and Josephine, of Oregon. The number of samples of the three items under investigation collected from individual farms of each of the counties was about the same. The results showed that eggs and milkproduced in Klamath county had statistically significant lower selenium content than those produced in the other two counties. This observation provides an explanation for the differences in urinary selenium concentration observed in two previous studies among school children living in the three counties. The selenum content of water samples collected from the three counties was found to be insignificant. The findings of the present study provideadditional evidence that determination of urinary selenium concentration is a good criterion of the amount of this element ingested.
