Electron microscopic examination of highly radioactive fallout particles produced by the series of nuclear explosions during Sept. and Oct. 1961 revealed that their surface states differed from particle to particle. It was concluded that most of the particles were produced by condensation followed by solidification of explosion prod, ucts at relatively high temperature immediately after the explosion and that voiatile elements such as I/sup 131/ and Ru/sup 1962. Levels of Cs/sup 137/ in human milk were compared with posure corresponding to a given DE is deemed to be the exposure, are outlined. (P.C.H.)
