“…Previously, total body potassium has been related to body weight (m-equiv K/kg BW) (mmol K/kg BW) and age (Anderson and Langham, 1959;McNeill and Green, 1959;Baarli, Madshus, Liden, and McCall, 1961;Blahd, Cassen, and Lederer, 1962;Delwaide, Verly, Colard, and Boulenger, 1962;Remenchik and Miller, 1962;Von Dobeln, 1962;Meenely, Ball, Ferguson, Payne, Lorimer, Weiland, Rolf, and Heyssel, 1962;Woodward, Trujillo, Schuch, and Anderson, 1965;Oberhausen and Onstead, 1965;Hughes, Williams, and Smith, 1967;Allen, Anderson, and Langham, 1969).The ranges (± 2 x coefficient of variation) were about ± 20 to 40 %. However, the usefulness of m-equiv K/kg BW (mmol K/kg BW) as an index is limited also by the aberrations in body weight in conditions such as obesity, oedema, and starvation.…”

SYNOPSIS Total body potassium was measured in 103 healthy adults using a shadow-shield wholebody monitor of high sensitivity. The standard deviation from regression was smaller when total body potassium was correlated with height than with weight and was further reduced, to about 9 %, in a multiple regression using height and age. The advantages of this relationship over indices involving weight are discussed. The smallest standard deviation from regression, 7-5 %, was obtained when total body potassium was correlated with height, weight, and age. The usefulness of this relationship is discussed with comment on its limitations.A regression equation was derived between lean body mass (derived from height and weight) and total body potassium with a standard deviation from regression of 550% in males and 7.30% in females.

“…Although atmospheric testing of high yield nuclear weapons began in the early to mid 1950's (Carter and Moghissi, 1977), the accumulation of fallout radionuclides in arctic food chains, predominately cesium -137 and strontium -90, was not recognized and/or monitored until the early 1960's (Baarli et al 1961). However, following 1961, radiocesium levels in the lichen-reindeer/caribou-wolf/man food chain have been periodically monitored in Alaska (Hanson 1982), Scandinavia (Miettinen, 1967) and U.S.S.R. (Neustrueva et al 1967).…”

This paper reviews historical concentrations of radiocesium (Cs-137) in the reindeer/caribou food chain in Alaska. These data, along with available kinetic models which describe the movement of radiocesium through the food chain, are used to predict consequences of radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident which occurred in late April 1986. During the present discussion, efforts are made to directly relate the Alaskan data to the Scandinavian situation as it exists following the Chernobyl accident.

ForordDet tredje møtet i NOR's regi for reinforskere i Norden ble avviklet i Rovaniemi, Finland i dagene 15. -17. oktober 1986.Rammen for møtet ble i høy grad bestemt av reaktorulykken i Tsjernobyl som hadde forårsaket alvorlige nedfallsproblemer for reinnaeringen i Norden, spesielt i Norge og Sverige. NOR's Arbeidsutvalg følte at det var et stort behov for en bred drøftelse av problemene og oppfattet ønsket om felles holdninger og løsninger.Denne del av møtet viste seg å vaere av stor interesse og samlet over 80 deltakere. Den ble også gitt god dekning i massemedia.
