Savannah River Laboratory environmental transport and effects research. Annual report, 1975

Research on the transport of pollutants through the environment and effects of pollutants on ecosystems, performed at the Savannah River Laboratory during fiscal year 1975, is presented.A number of short articles within a wide variety of scientific disciplines describes, through computer modeling and field experiments:Physics Section of SRP, and has received assistance from the U. S. Forest Service group on the Savannah River site.The expanded estuarine research is in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Laboratories at Beaufort, North Carolina.The Atmospheric Release Advisory Capabilities-Southeastern United States program has involved direct interaction with SRP, and joint research with Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) personnel.The Krypton-85 Measurements program is in collaboration with the Air Resources Laboraties of NOAA at Silver Spring, Maryland, and involves Krypton-85 analyses by the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL).The collection of summaries which comprise this report illustrate the breadth of SRL environmental sciences research activities on the Savannah River site and in its environs.This report was prepared by the ETD of SRL with contributions in the environmental sciences from other SRL divisions and with other collaborators from both on-and off-site.This report includes the major research activities of the ETD during FY-l975; in addition, many applied short-range jobs were completed.Other environmental efforts performed by Du Pont at the site, such as the large-scale effort of the SRP Health Physics Section in environmental monitoring, are recorded elsewhere.
