The calculation of atrmospieric diffusion of radioactive gaseous
discharges, using the current diffusion modais, is seriously af~
fectedi by the complex morpholosy ot Ispra site. AS no experimental
tests ure as yct possible the problem was studied by a computation
which, although bused upon the (iaussian distrubutzon model and the
vertical standard deviations proposed by Gifford, makes use principally of the local micrometevrological parameters subdivided, for
each wind direction, into the diifereat stability cutecories. The calculation, averaged over a period of one year, was performed both

The basic objectives of air sampling are to evaluate airborne
hazards, to determine ventilation requirements, to determine
respiratory protection needs; and to establish safe handling proeedures. Air sampling for both nonradieactive and radioactive
contaminants is discussed in detail with reterence to the following aspects: criteria for effective air sampling; sclection ot
equiptnent and methods; effects of sample flow velocity and of
filter media on collection effivicneies; design and operation of
specific sampling devices; and methods for evaluating uir sampling data. (b.C.1L.)
