Source: Public*Health Rep. (United States) Publication Date: 1957 p 1121-1126 Document Type: Journal Article Language: English Journal Announcement: EDB8103 Subfile: TIC (Technical v 72. Coden: PHRPA Information Center). Country of Origin: United States Abstract: Iodine-131 activity was readily found in thyroid glands from grazing animals in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Oregon within 2 weeks following the start of the 1956 US Pacific atomic weapons tests. A progressive increase was noted in the proportion of samples which were active from mid-May to mid-October, at which time the study was terminated. Based on the Arizona and Ohio data, the average weekly dosages from mid-May to mid-October to cattle and sheep were 35 and 120 milli-roentgen equivalent physical, respectively, apparently harmless to the health of animals. It is suggested that the average cattle /sup 131/I level found in this study is approximately the average continuously existing in US cattle during the past 2 or 3 years. Theoretical considerations indicate that with the levels of /sup 131/I found in cattle thyroids, detectable amounts of /sup 131/I would have been secreted with the fresh milk produced in these areas.; Major Descriptors: *CATTLE -- RADIATION MONITORING; *SHEEP -- RADIATION MONITORING; *THYROID -- RADIOACTIVITY Descriptors: ARIZONA; FALLOUT; IODINE 131; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MILK; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; OHIO; OREGON; PENNSYLVANIA; RADIATION DOSES Broader Terms: ANIMALS; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS; BODY; BODY FLUIDS; CENTRAL REGION; DAYS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; DOMESTIC ANIMALS; DOSES; ENDOCRINE GLANDS; EXPLOSIONS; FOOD; GLANDS; GREAT LAKES REGION; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; IODINE ISOTOPES; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; MAMMALS; MATERIALS; MICRONESIA; MONITORING; NORTH AMERICA; NUCLEI; OCEANIA; ODD-EVEN NUCLEI; ORGANS; PACIFIC NORTHWEST REGION; RADIOISOTOPES; RUMINANTS; USA; VERTEBRATES; WESTERN REGION Explosions & Explosives 10/5/810 00732817 (Item 510 from file: 103) BRA; 06-014758; EDB-81-041072 Title: Environmental surveillance in the Marshall Islands: of alternative energy sources in the Third World Author(s): Greenhouse, N.A.
