Bomb Carbon-14 in Human Beings

The concentration of bomb-produced radiocarbon in human beings will lag behind the rising concentration in average atmospheric $\text{CO}_{2}$. Measurements on human materials suggest a lag of about 1 year for both breath $\text{CO}_{2}$ and blood, with the suggestion of a somewhat higher value for...

description The concentration of bomb-produced radiocarbon in human beings will lag behind the rising concentration in average atmospheric $\text{CO}_{2}$. Measurements on human materials suggest a lag of about 1 year for both breath $\text{CO}_{2}$ and blood, with the suggestion of a somewhat higher value for lung tissue. These results are in reasonable agreement with predictions based on independent evidence.
