Abstract
Reports the results of radiation monitoring of food imports through ports of Jeddah, Yanbu and Jizan and Jeddah airport during June 1986 to February 1987. Monitoring procedure followed is detailed. Only meat and milk powder samples showed increased radioactivity above background upto September. Mainly cesium 137 and 134 were observed. From September, biscuits, mushrooms and fertilizer also showed radioactive contamination. Nuts, fruits, grain products, macaroni, amber and some indoor plants also showed contamination from October.
