The EML Soil Sampling ProgramThe Soil Sampling Database provides information on EML's archived soil samples and sample measurements. In the early 1950's the laboratory began a program to take soil samples globally in order to confirm measurements taken through other means and estimate deposition in areas where no sampling was available. Strontium-90 was measured for the majority of samples analyzed; other fission products were also routinely measured and occasionally some short-lived isotopes were measured for specific studies.
Technical note: The EML database searches require a frames-capable browser (Netscape 2+, IE 3+) and work best with Javascript enabled. You can download the latest version of Netscape free from their home page. Related links:

Note:
The EML Sample Archives makes available environmental radiological data collected for programs funded through the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, the U. S. Energy Research and Development Administration and the U. S. Department of Energy. All of these programs have been terminated. The databases were last updated in 1999. No additional data will be added to these databases. Any inquiries about these programs should be made to webmaster@eml.st.dhs.gov.
