The Marshall Islands Medical Program of the Medical Department, brookhaven National Laboratory, issues these summaries for distribution to institutions and individuals world-wide who are concerned about the adverse medical consequences of radiation exposure in general or, in particular, the plight of the radiation-exposed Marshallese. The exposed Marshallese population originally comprised 64 persons on Rongelap Atoll who received an estimated 190 rads of whole-body external gamma radiation, 18 on Ailingnae Atoll who received 110 rads, and 159 on Utirik Atoll who received 11 rads. In addition, there were 3 fetuses on Rongelap, 1 on Ailingnae, and 8 on Utirik, each of which reveived equivalent whole-body doses. Because of radioiodines in the fallout, the thyroid gland received an additional exposure that was much greater than the whole-body dose, although its magnitude was, in part, a function of age at the time of exposure (Lessard et al., 1985).

Lawrence Livermore National Lab., CA (USA) 890800 UNL The following experiments were conducted on Bikini Atoll to provide key parameters for an assessment of inhalation exposure from plutonium-contaminated dust aerosols: (1) a characterization of background (plutonium activity, dust, plutonium, organic aerosol concentrations), KEYWORDS sea spray, a study of and plutonium resuspension from a bare field, (3) a study of plutonium resuspension by traffic, and (4) a study of personal inhalation exposure. Studies similar to (1) and (2) have been previously performed at Enewetak Atoll. 9 refs., 5 figs., 8 tabs. “ws PLUTONIUM/inhalation ;PARTICLE RESUSPENSION/risk assessment ;BIKINI;RADIATION PROTECTION; PLUTONIUM; INHALATION; AEROSOLS ; DUSTS ; AUTOMOBILES;DOSE EQUIVALENTS; OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE; PARTICLE 9003464 (2) SIZH;SOILS;PLANTS
