Bone Sampling at EML

EML's Bone sampling database provides information on EML's archived human and animal bone samples and sample measurements. Bone sampling began in 1961 to study the uptake of strontium-90 from global fallout into the skeletal system. Human bone samples were collected at several locations in the U.S. (New York and San Francisco were the primary sites) and samples were provided by the World Health Organization from a number of locations worldwide.

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.

Development of the archival database was funded by the DOE Office of Nonproliferation Research and Engineering (NN-20) in the Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation, U.S. Department of Energy.

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.
