RADIOACTIVE FALLOUT

Journal Article · · Agronomy Journal (U.S.)
An extensive monitoring and research program regarding fall-??, is in operation all over the world. Concentration of fission products in the environment of man is being studied by air and precipitation sampling, gummed film collection, and analysis of soils, foods, animals, and man. The formation of fall-out during the explosion of nuclear devices, the fission products formed, the distribution of fall-out, the fate of fall-out in the soil, the passage of fallout through the food chain, and processes of entry of fission products into animals and man are discussed. Data are tabulated on levels of Sr/sup 90/ in the soil in the U. S. in 1959. (C.H.)
