    The US Transuranium Registry is a center for collecting precise information about the occupational effects of transuranic elements on man. To date 13,943 past and present transuranium workers have been tabulated. Health, mortality, causes of death and transuranic organ depositions are being studied. Bryce D. Breitenstein, Jr., M.D. was named Director of the Registry in July 1976. The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is directing the epidemiological portion of a plutonium worker health study with George Voelz, M.D. and Louis Hempelmann, M.D. serving as principal investigators. The USTR is affiliated with this study. USTR statistical data shows progressive acquisition of informationmore » for 1975 and 1976. ERDA contractor and NRC licensee activities at participating sited are discussed. Preparation of the input format to record and store USTR data has been completed and is ready for trial operation. USTR educational and informational activities were extensive and varied. Many queries arose from the use of published Registry autopsy data by Ralph Nader's associate Dr. S. Wolfe. There was continued cooperation with representatives of the British Atomic Energy Authority in their efforts to develop a plutonium registry.« less

    The chemistry of airborne particulate matter is being investigated by means of laboratory and field studies. Experiments were conducted using the flow reactor to identify the reaction conditions under which detectable amounts of sulfate particles could be formed from gaseous sulfur dioxide. A procedure was developed for the analysis of acidic and neutral ammonium sulfates in filter-collected samples of atmospheric particulate matter. The infrared spectroscopic method of analysis was made quantitative for sulfates, nitrates, and the ammonium ion. Field samples of atmospheric aerosols were collected at various sites. The size-classified collection procedure developed at Argonne was compared with the dichotomousmore » high-volume filter sampling procedure; the results obtained with the two procedures were consistent. General agreement was observed between the infrared spectroscopic technique and two different light-scattering techniques for the detection and measurement of acidic and neutral ammonium sulfates in atmospheric particulate matter. Stable oxygen isotope ratios are being measured in laboratory samples of water, sulfur dioxide, and sulfate. The fundamental aspects of the chemistry involved in the cyclic use of dolomite for controlling sulfur dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion are being investigated, using thermal gravimetric, optical and electron microscopic, and X-ray diffraction methods.« less
