Determination of the Fate of Phosphorus in the Laying Hen by Means of Radiophosphorus (P ³² )

Introduction to Long-Term Biological Effects of Nuclear War

“…[61][62][63][64][65] Therefore, if the yolk and albwnen are taken together, the average concentration of a nuclide in the two parts of the egg for a single ingestion is given by Also, Xik and fif are for the yolk, Xkk and fif are for the albumen, and m; is the average weight of the yolk and albumen. The weights (wet basis) of the three parts of an egg from a mature hen are as follows: yolk--15 to 17 grams; albumen--24 to 27 grams; and shell--6 to 7 grams.…”

“…To illustrate the magnitude of the absorbed doses to hufnans from constmiption of the contaminated food sources, the Cif values for Equation 65 were selected from the national sunimaries of the contamination of all food crops (and water) using the previously discussed concentrations that do not exceed 50 and 90 percent of the available crop food of each kind. While this procedure in no way connects the food source with a given surviving consknier in a given locality, it assnies some distribution of the foods so tilat, over tile wvfole oPuttr1:!on'", a -o-rge l.…”
