Show Fallout Checks Made on Milk In Southern Utah A special study of strontium-90 strontium-90 content in Southern Utah's milk ' supply indicates the amount is "considerably below maximum permissible levels," Sen. Wallace F. Bennett was informed today. Dr. C. L. Dunham, director of the AEC Division of Biology and Medicine, sent the senator a list of milk samplings from six Southern Utah communities taken after tests at the Nevada test site. All the samplings, he said, were well within the permissible per-missible limits. Highest 'reading was at Pan-guitch, Pan-guitch, which hadi 37.3 "sunshine "sun-shine units" of strontium-90 per gram of calcium in September Sep-tember 8, 1957. Dr. Dunham noted that "although this is generally higher than has been measured elsewhere in the United States, it is still considerably con-siderably below maximum permissible per-missible levels." The maximum permissible level is 80 sunshine units. |
