    Abstract

    Measurements of fall-out radioactivity in the Faroes in 1971 ar e presented.

In addition, analyses of spot samples of potatoes, sea plants, vegetables, eggs, and human bone were carried out. Estimates of the mean contents of Sr-90 and Cs-1 37 in the human diet in the Faroes in 1971 ar e given.
