Whole-body counting measurements were conducted to monitor the Cs-137 biological half life of 14 individuals in Athens during the period June 1988 to June 1989. The results and the solution of a Cs-137 retention model showed that the individuals examined were receiving 0 - 3.7 Bq/d of Cs-137 through the food chain during the period investigated.
