Zinc-65 and chromium-51 in foods and people.

Some radioisotopes introduced into the Columbia River via effluent water from reactors at Hanford, Wash., are found in crops irrigated with this water and in sea food harvested near the mouth of the river. Measurements of zinc-65 and chromium-Si in foods and in individuals consuming these foods are reported and are compared with zinc-65 concentrations resulting from fallout.

Zinc-65 in foods and people.

Disposal of trace amounts of Zn(65) is made in the Columbia River via Hanford reactor effluent water. The subsequent utilization of river water for irrigation permits the concentration of this radioisotope in farm produce and its eventual deposition in man. The Zn(65) in irrigation water, in farm produce, and in individuals utilizing these materials has been measured.
