Abstract

The concentrations of Gs137 in meat from lamb in the falls of 1964 and 1965 and in meat from sheep in the fall of 1965 have been determined. The results are given and discussed with regard to the geographical variations, the decreasing concentrations from 1964 to 1965 and to the different concentrations in lamb and sheep.
