Abstract
Research activities of the Division of Radiological Health, Robert A. Taft Sanitary Engineering Center, Public Health Service, Cincinnati, Ohio, are described. The Center operates three national networks in cooperation with state and municipal agencies. These include the National Air Sampling Network, which comprises 161 stations from which 24-hr samples of air particulates are collected on a statistically random basis at least bi-weekly; the Water Quality Basic Data Network, which collects weekly samples from 50 stations on the principal U. S. streams; and a National Milk Surveillance Network, which provides monthly samples from each of 10 milk sheds. Gross beta determinations are made on the air and stream samples; gross alpha determinations on one-fourth of the stream samples; and specific radionuclide analyses are made on all milk samples. Representative data on the Cincinnati area are included. (C.H.)
