Abstract |
As part of its program for evaluating the many aspects of radiation exposure, the Public Health Service maintains a continuing interest in the research and development of analytical methods for uranium concentrations in various media. The Radio-chemistry Support Laboratory of the Division of Radiological Health investigated new techniques and modifications applicable to determinations of micro or macro amounts of uranium in environmental media and certain biological materials. Appropriate environmental samples may be air filters, food, water, soil, and vegetation - all of which are collected under PHS radiation surveillance activities. (Author) |
