Abstract
The report is a manual of methods used in laboratories of the Public Health Service's National Center for Radiological Health of the Bureau of Disease Prevention and Environmental Control for the determination and interpretation of the radionuclide content of samples collected for environmental surveillance. Step by step procedures are given for the analysis of milk, food, air, water, and other environmental samples. A discussion of instrumentation for these procedures is given, and a program of analytical quality control is described. Appendices include a definition of laboratory practice and terminology and instructions for preparing required reagents. Bibliographic references are included for specific procedures as well as for more general discussions. (Author)
