The contamination of the environment with the radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions was followed by the authors and their co-workers from the Institute of Hygienic and Social Medicine of the Medical School of University of Sarajevo, during a period of 10 years (1959—1968).
Collection of samples and measurements of gross beta activity included:
a) air samples, daily samples,
b) rainfall, daily and monthly samples,
c) drinking water from central supplies and from cisterns with rainwater, monthly samples,
d) rivers, monthly samples.
Parallel to that were conducted the measurements of:
c) Sr-90 in rainfall, monthly samples,
f) Sr-90 in soil, yearly samples,
g) Sr-90 in grass and silage, seasonal samples,
h) Sr-90 and Cs-137 in grain, vegetables and fruit, annual samples;
i) Sr-90 and Cs-137 in drinking rain-water from cisterns, annual samples,
j) Sr-90 in human bone, annual samples.
The preparation and analysis of samples \vas conducted in accordance with the World Health Organisation’s Methods of Radiochemical Analysis (34). The geographical coordinates of places where the samples have been collected, the types of samples, and the methods and periods of collection are presented in Tab 6.
