TL;DR: The findings point to the need for a possible reassessment of the dietary requirements of young infants, with respect to minor and trace elements, particularly for the elements Ca, Cr, Cu, F, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, P, and Zn.

TL;DR: From the 137Cs/134Cs ratios, which reflect the depth of the mycelium and the excess 137Cs from historic pre-Chernobyl fallout, it may be surmised that radiocaesium levels in certain species will probably increase further next year and subsequently as Cs migrates down the soil profile.

TL;DR: In this paper, a co-ordinated research program involving a small group of experienced laboratories is described to improve the status of two reference materials, milk powder A-11 and animal muscle H-4, with a wide spread of values for many trace elements of interest.

TL;DR: The purpose of the present was to analyse and to establish the concentration levels of total iodine in some food articles, diets, SRMs and candidate reference materials by the use of rapid radiochemical separation, developed in the laboratory.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that fresh and dried fish muscle and fish certified reference materials show good stability with time and against temperature cycling, and Shellfish and blood should not be repeatedly frozen and unfrozen otherwise possible losses of methylmercury can occur.
