Abstract
The data presented are the results of radio-chemical analyses performed on selected surface waters for the 6-month period beginning November l, 1968 and ending April 30, 1969. Also presented are the results of radio-chemical analyses performed on precipitation samples collected in Iowa City during the same period. Our present environmental monitoring program is adequate to determine changes in environmental levels of radioactivity resulting from fallout, however, it is totally inadequate in those areas where the potential for problems will be the greatest. These areas are the environs surrounding the nuclear power stations contemplated within the state or on its boundary waters. This laboratory is presently neither staffed nor funded to carry out a surveillance program which would be considered adequate in those areas of primary concern.
