Headline Research in the WHO European region 
Description A HUMAN GUINEA PIG



There has been great concern about the effects of radiation on the human body particularly about the insidious effects of small amounts repeatedly taken over a long period. The experiment illustrated here is an effort to obtain some precise knowledge of this topic. The human guinea pig ate a special daily ration of ordinary shop foods. Every day he ate a loaf of bread and drank two bottles of milk. The rest of his diet included butter, jam, bacon, tinned fruit, orange juice and a bottle of beer. Small amount of radioactive materials such as are found in atomic fall-out were added to the milk and the bread. After 30 days of this diet, measurements of the amount of the strontium 85 is different parts of the body taken and the results plotted. 



The experiment shows in what part of the body the strontium was deposited. The amounts of radiation used were too small to be at all dangerous.
