The process of nuclear testing releases negligible amounts of strontium (Sr) to the environment and, therefore, does not raise much concern. However, the little Sr released can be incorporated into food substances and converted into part of the food chain. The initiation of atmospheric examination of nuclear weapons in the mid-twentieth century led to the emission of significant amounts of Sr to the environment. This was evident from the substantial drop in quantities of Sr ingested from food substances after the deferment of the atmospheric testing of nuclear bludgeons. This phenomenon proved that the emitted strontium undeniably found its way into the food chain. However, the suspension of nuclear testing does not solve the entire problem of Sr emission to the environment because accidents can still occur at these nuclear plants and cause accidental leakage of highly toxic wastes. Apart from weapon facilities, plants that reprocess fuels also pose similar hazards. The utilization of nuclear fission as a radioactive process in research reactors and nuclear power plants causes the pollution of soils with Sr-90. Chernobyl was one of the nuclear reactants that had a history of nuclear accidents that led to the emission of radioactive Sr-90 to the environment. This accident saw the release of considerable amounts of Sr-90 that scattered globally as fall-out and made a large deposit in the countries belonging to the former Soviets Union. The key route of entry of Sr into the human body is through the ingestion of polluted water and food substances. Contaminated air, also, has the same effects when air containing Sr particles adsorbed on dust particles is inhaled. However, the hazards associated with the ingestion of contaminated food surpass those related to the inhalation of contaminated air. Approximately twenty to thirty percent of the ingested Sr-90 is absorbed in the gut following the intake of Sr-contaminated food while the remaining fraction is excreted. Nearly all of the absorbed Sr-90 goes to the bones of the skeletal tissues. At the same time, the rest is disseminated to the peripheral tissues such as blood, pliable tissues, extracellular fluids, as well as the surface of the bones. The Sr-90 can stay permanently in these tissues. It can also be broken down and expelled in as urine or feces. As earlier mentioned, Sr-90’s key route of entry into the human body is through its incorporation into the food chain. This occurs when grass grows on Sr-contaminated soil. Cows feed on this grass, and the strontium becomes absorbed into the cows’ gastrointestinal tract and later on passes into milk. The consumption of such milk, therefore, leads to the introduction of radioactive Sr into the human body. Strontium, a radioactive substance decays into 90Y, which is a transitory decay product. 90Y undergoes a beta decay releasing the energy of approximately 0.93 MeV that plays a vital role in the internal dose of Sr-90. Sr-90 is a structural analog of calcium, thereby making it a suitable candidate for absorption mechanisms that are similar to calcium. Consequently, S-90 is absorbed, metabolized like calcium, and integrated into the plant and animal tissues. In lactating females, Sr c
