The paper discusses the general principles on which maximum permissible levels of irradiation are fixed and shows that with present usage of radioisotopes these levels are not exceeded. Consideration is given to contamination of drains, hazard to workers in sewers and at sewagedisposal works, and the effect of radiation on sewagepurifying organisms. The behavior of certain radioisotopes during sewage purification, the discharge of radioactive sewage effluent to rivers, and the concentration of radioisotopes in sewage sludge are discussed. (auth)
