WASHINGTON T - The Pub
lie Health Service said Wednes
day that pasteurized milk sample
from the area of Palmer, Alaska
showed a content of 39,660 miero
mierocuries of radioactive iodine
during the year ended Sent. 29,
based on daily average amounts in
one liter,
A spokesman said, howc'ver, t) at
this level is not considered a pub
lic health hazard, though it ex
ceeds what is described as the ac
ceptable health-risk level of ex
posure to 36,500 micromicroeuries
in a 12-month period.
The spokesman said a level
such as that recorded at Palmer
is regarded as a point at which
special study should be undertaken
and advice given if requested by
local authorities, but not a point
for initiation of active counter
measures.
The service said the high-level
at Palmer and relatively high
readings for some other U.S. areas
during Sentember indicated fresh
fallout from both United States
and Soviet nuclear testing.
The report was the first to give
12-month totals of average dailv
amounts of radioactive iodine-131,
strontium-89, and strontium-90
shown in milk samples of 1 liter
each from 62 sampling stations.
There is at least one station in
each state.
None of the 12-month totals for
strontium-89 and strontium-90 ex
ceeded fractions of the levels de
scribed by the Federal Radiation
Council as an acceptable health
risk.
A micromicrocurie is one mil
lionth of a millionth part of a
curie, and a curie is a measure
ment of radioactivity.
