Technical Report · Fri Sep 13 00:00:00 EDT 1985

OSTI ID:6538823

Elevated radiation exposures that approach and sometimes exceed the radiological standards for the general public have been identified in the Montclair/West Orange and Glen Ridge study areas. Elevated outdoor and indoor gamma radiation levels and indoor radon concentrations in excess of expected background ranges have been found. The source of the elevated radiation exposure is known to be radium-contaminated soil that has been deposited as fill material in several discrete pockets throughout the study areas. 17 refs., 20 tabs.
