The report summarizes research and development activities of LASL's Biomedical and Environmental Research Program for the calendar year 1977. The principal features of the program have been carried out by groups in the Health Division, supported by the Assistant Secretary for the Environment of the United States Department of Energy. Previous annual reports in this series prepared under the auspices of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and the United States Energy Research and Development Administration are LA-4923-PR (1971), LA-5227-PR (1972), LA-5633-PR (1973), LA-5883-PR (1974), LA-6313-PR (1975), and LA-6898-PR (1976). Technical information related to the current status of projects in the major program areas of each contributing group is presented in sufficient detail to permit the informed reader to assess scope and significance and to obtain specific information from the publications listed in Appendix A. Summaries useful to the casual reader desiring general information have been prepared by the Group Leaders and appear at the beginning of each section of the report. Separate entries were made for various sections of the report.
