Description

Results are presented of measurements of 210Pb (and 210Po) collected during 1979 in an air filter system and a precipitation collector situated at Enewetak. The estimated 210Pb flux was found to be (0.15 +- 0.02 d.p.m. cm-2 yr-1) and the Asian dust flux (38 +- 20 μg cm-2 yr-1) at this location in the Pacific. (U.K.)
