Radiological health data (monthly report)
Data are presented on fission product radioactivity in samples of airborne particulates, precipitation, surface waters, and milk collected throughout the US, Canada, and Mexico during February 1962. Results are included from measurements of the content of Sr/sup 90/ in Canadian wheat from 1957 to 1961; the content of Sr/sup 89/, Sr/sup 90/ and I/sup 131/ in milk samples during 1962 and 1963; the radionuclides in the Northwestern Alaska food chain from 1959 to 1961; radionuclides in diets for teenagers during 1962 and 1963; and the Sr/sup 90/ content in the diet of residents of New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco during Aug and Sep 1962. Data are included on the environmental radioactivity levels at the national Reactor Testing Station, Idaho Falls, Idaho, and the Pinellas Peninsula Plant, St. Petersburg, Florida, during 1962. Data are summarized on the one nuclear detonation announced during May 1963.
