The Tooth Fairy Project proponents have said,



"Concentrations of radioactive Strontium-90 in 86 Dade County baby teeth

tested by RPHP have been rising since the early 1980s.  The current level is

equal to that of the late 1950s, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union

conducted large-scale nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere."



As I have previously pointed out, the levels they are finding are much less

than the levels in teeth in 1964 when fallout peaked. The 1950's are not a

reasonable comparison point. What they are finding is much lower than the

decay corrected levels of 1964.
