Maximum permissible body burden of strontium-90. 1959

R BJORNERSTEDT, and A ENGSTROM

The permissible body burden of Sr(99) is discussed with respect to the mode of intake. It appears that the maximum permissible load may depend on the type of exposure, acute or chronic, the acute being the more serious.
