Lead-210 and polonium-210 in biological samples from Alaska
Beasley TM and Palmer HE. 1966. Lead-210 and polonium-210 in biological samples from Alaska. Science. 152(3725):1062-1064
The naturally occuring concentrations of lead-210 and polonium-210 in certain biological samples from Alaska are unusually high. The concentration processes are similar to those observed for artificially produced radioactive fallout. Concentrations of these nuclides are greater in Alaskan natives than they are in other United States residents.
