The paper presents the results of our study on Pu, Pu, Pu, Am and Sr concentration in human bones carried out on a set of 88 individual samples of central Europe origin. Bone tissue samples were retrieved under surgery while introducing hip joint implants. The conducted surgeries tend to cover either southern or northeastern parts of Poland. While for the southern samples only global fallout was expected to be seen, a mixed global and Chernobyl fallout were to be reflected in the others. Alpha spectrometry was applied to obtain activity concentration for Pu, Pu, Am, while liquid scintillation spectrometry for Sr and mass spectrometry to receive Pu/Pu mass ratio. Surprisingly enough, and to the contrary to our expectations we could not see any significant differences in either Pu activity or Pu mass ratio between the studied populations. In both populations Chernobyl fraction proved marginal. The results on Sr and Am confirm similarities between the two examined groups.
本文介绍了我们对来自中欧的88个个体样本进行的人体骨骼中钚、钚、钚、镅和锶浓度研究的结果。骨组织样本是在进行髋关节植入手术时获取的。所进行的手术往往覆盖波兰的南部或东北部地区。对于南部样本，预计只会看到全球沉降物，而其他样本则会反映出全球沉降物和切尔诺贝利沉降物的混合情况。采用α能谱法获取钚、钚、镅的活度浓度，采用液体闪烁能谱法测定锶，并采用质谱法获得钚/钚质量比。令人惊讶的是，与我们的预期相反，在所研究的人群中，钚活度或钚质量比均未发现任何显著差异。在这两个人群中，切尔诺贝利沉降物的占比都很小。锶和镅的研究结果证实了两个被检查群体之间的相似性。
