Estimates of airborne activity concentrations.

Air activity concentration at

Rongelap and Sifo,fsiand wgne tabulated from the meteorology results provided
by Peterson for
15,204
i 3fPe8l)- Also, results for air activity
concentrations of

I and

I were estimated from the Bikini Ash composition

and tabulated for comparison. Details on this method are given by Lessard
(Le84b). The cumilated activity agree somewhat, however the instantaneous
airborne activity concentrations do not agree well. In summary, the Peterson
approach towards estimating dose to the exposed Marshallese requires further
refinement in order to achieve correspondence with all available information
regarding external exposure and exposure rate.
