S>Environmental contamination from weapon tests was monitored in the Leningrad district by estimating the uptake of Sr/sup 90/ by milk, potatoes, and grass. Radiochemical tests carried out from 1957 to 1959 indicated a general increase of Sr/sup 90/ levels in potatoes from 0.8 to 2.3 mu c, in milk from 3 x 10/sup -12/ to 9 x 10/sup -12/ c/l, and in grass to 60 mu c. A comparison of the 1959 Sr/sup 90/ content in potato and grass ash showed 850 mu c per 100 g of grass ash and 30 mu c per 100 g of potato ash. (R.V.J.)
