A review of contamination monitors is given, in which several kinds of monitors are treated: combination (Geiger and beta window) for beta - gamma counting, scintillation (ZnS-Ag for alpha - beta counting, NaI(Tl) for gamma ), special purpose (hands and clothing monitor), and monitors specific for a radioisotope (these for Pu/sup 239/, U/sup 235/, Cs/sup 137/, and I/sup 131/ have been develo ped). Other topics treated are modification of monitors for smear tests, electronic circuits (cold-cathode tubes and transistors), scales, and measurement of low levels of radioactivity. (D.L.C.)
