Hazards of Radioactive Fallout

Emanuel Chusid M.D.1

1 Mount Vernon, N.Y.

Many of my patients are aware of the poisonous attributes of strontium-90 and its particular affinity for the bones of growing children. It would be an immense relief to them and to me to have available decontaminated milk and formula. It is my understanding that there is now available a relatively inexpensive process for removing radioactive strontium-90 from milk. This method involves the use of a simple ion-exchange resin column, and its estimated use would increase the cost of a quart of milk from five to ten cents.
