[ RadSafe ] TFP - next questions

[Franz Schönhofer]

Dear RADSAFErs,

 

Thanks to those who gave me hints and links which help me with my first
questions. The next question is, whether anybody has data available about
the concentration of Radium-226 (and Ra-228) in human teeth and/or bones.
One of the links showed, that actually the Ra-226 was not separated contrary
to what I had in memory. The description of the analytical process in one of
the links was further obscured by false information about the instrument
used (Quantulus). Therefore I would like to estimate what the error in Sr-90
concentration could be when not taking Ra-226 into account. Of course I
know, that the Ra-226 concentration will depend on the environment – as well
as the Sr-90 concentration.

 

One more question to the US-American RADSAFErs: I find a Joseph J. Mangano,
MPH MBA  not only as the National Coordinator of the RPHP website, but also
as an author of „Radioactive Strontium-90 in baby teeth of New Jersey
children and the link with cancer: A special report. I know that MBA means
„Master of Business Administration“, but what does MPH mean? Master of
Physics? Master of Philosophy? That MBA does not really point towards a
scientific background seems to be clear, but does MPH?

 

Thanks again for a very fast reply.

 

Franz
