SOME DATA ON THE RELATION BETWEEN THE DENSITY OF RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT AND THE DUST CONTENT OF ATMOSPHERIC AIR (in Russian)

OSTI ID:4748808
The mean radioactive fallout in inhabited areas was 1.9 mC/km/sup 2/ during 10 months in 1959. The highest density was observcd during April to June and the lowest in September. The monthly fallout for industrial regions was +0.45 plus or minus 0.15 and for park areas +0.49 plus or minus 0.19. Tabulated data are given on the ratio of radioactive fallout and the dust. Ot is postulated that the fine radioictive fallout particles are adsorbed by large- surface aerosols and the larger the amount and size of aerosol particles the higher is the radioactivity (due to diffusion and slower dispersion).
