A small-sized radon data logger and a electrostatic collecting radon monitor were developed for the continuous monitoring of environmental radon and radon daughters. A PIN photodiode (PD), an alpha particle detector, installed inside a container attracts radon daughters when charged electrostatically. Alpha particles are completely separated from each other according to the energy level. New logger has made it possible to analysis and save the radon data. Alpha particle count data from radon daughters are automatically integrated over preset time intervals and the energy regions. The desiccant P
2O
5 was placed in the bottom of the monitor, since the collection efficiency of 218Po
atoms depends on the humidity of the air. We can get the 30 days continuous data logging at 30 min sampling frequency at any place with the car battery. We observed the radon concentration of the air inside the Super-Kamiokande dome from Jan-30 to Feb-8-1996. The average of radon concentration was found to be (46±13) Bq/m3.

In order to clarify influence of pH-buffer action of soil on desorption behavior of radionuclides adsorbed on a soil, a batch type desorption experiment, in which a coastal sand adsorbed 60Co
was contacted with an aqueous solution of 4, 7 or 10 in pH, was performed.
When pH of the solution became higher, the desorption ratio of 60Co
from the sand to the solution decreased, while the abundance ratio of non-cationic 60Co
species increased. Relationship between the pH of solution and the desorption ratio of 60Co
could been explained by a pH dependency of negative charge density on the sand surface. It was found that the non-cationic 60Co
species in the solution was colloidal {
60Co (OH)
2}
n,
which was formed by hydrolysis of 60Co
2+ at buffered pH.

Effective doses and collective effective doses from X-ray diagnostic examinations were calculated on the basis of the frequency of examinations estimated by a nationwide survey and the organ or tissue doses experimentally determined. The average organ or tissue doses were determined with thermoluminescence dosimeters put at various sites of organs or tissues in an adult and a child phantom. Effective doses (effective dose equivalents) were calculated as the sum of the weighted equivalent doses in all the organs or tissues of the body.
As the examples of results, the effective doses per radiographic examination were approximately 7mGy for male, and 9 mGy for female angiocardiography, and about 3 mGy for barium meal. Annual collective effective dose from X-ray diagnostic examinations in 1986 were about 104×103 person Sv from radiography and 118×103 person Sv from fluoroscopy, with the total of 222×103 person Sv.

Female mice on gestational day 17 were injected intravenously with a single dose of 54Mn
or 65Zn
solution, and organ distributions of these radionuclides in the fetuses were studied 3, 6, 24 and 48 hours after administration using gamma counting and macroautoradiography. The fetuses of a litter incorporated 19% of the administered 54Mn
and 50% of the administered 65Zn
in the uterus. The pancreas showed the highest concentration of 54Mn
in fetuses, followed by the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and liver.
54Mn
distribution pattern in fetuses was similar to that in dams, but the uptake in the bone and brain seemed to be greater in fetuses than in adults.
65Zn
was markedly accumulated in the fetal liver, while no detectable amount of 65Zn
was found in the brain. Although fetal distribution of 65Zn
was similar to maternal one,
65Zn
concentrations in fetal tissues were generally higher than those in dams.

The air pollution caused by CO
2 from fossil fuel origin was quantitatively studied by radiocarbon (
14C)
measurement on the samples of new leaves taken from roadside trees. In the area where concentration of CO
2 (
12CO
2+
13CO
2)
of fossil fuel origin was high, the count of β-ray radiation from 14C
tended to be low. The relation between the concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO
2)
in the air and the count of β-ray radiation from the leaf samples could be represented by a linear regression,
Y= (17.568/X) -67.385; r = -0.995Where Y is the SO
2 concentration in ppb and X is the β-ray radiation count (Bq/g-carbon) .
