title: A comparison of radiocaesium transfer coefficients for sheep milk and muscle derived from both field and laboratory studies.
abstract: Radiocaesium transfer coefficients for sheep milk and muscle have been reviewed and recommendations for a range of Ffs and Fms for different situations are presented. The inherent problems in determining transfer coefficients from both field and laboratory studies are discussed.
