Samples of atmospheric aerosols were collected on filter paper and fiber filters, and the BETA activity of these saniples was determined. Striking differences in the activities of aerosol samples collected under the same conditions suggested that the long lived aetivity is unequally distributed on the support aerosols. Autoradiograph confirmed this conjecture. By means of the autoradiographic picture little filter areas each carrying one particle of particularly strong activity were separated. The separate determination of the BETA activity of these little areas (0.5% of the total filterarea) showed that sometimes (judging on the measurements up to middle of July 1958) more than 50% of the total activity of the fllter can be attributed to such a little filter element.
