Introduction
Thu Health Deyartment of the State of ew Y, 'k has
done e:a.ten`ive sampling (and analysis of " environmental- vectors for thlemeasuremcr.t of radioactivity since 19.•5 ý:3.nd the .presc-t report givs the
data collected from this program for the year 19,4.
Th.: location c, .. pli.g stc .. on:, and the subseuCntsam ri g and ranaiy s , are for tv.o purposes; r am cy. general .u .veiJ.."nceand specific monitoring of nuclear facilities. The general surveillancc
,- stations are located to give a picture of the state-wid., fallut from suchso.•:-ces as bomb testing, while the other monitoring stations arelocate&to indicate possible changes due to on•-cific nuclear installations, suchas rea-ctors and fuel reprocessing plants. Although- a majority of thestations have been located, for the specifi c monitoring concept, whcn thCreare no .-gnificant releases from specific installations the results obta nedare .indicative of natural background and fallout from bomb testing.
The Test Ban Treaty, involving the United Stat e• , Great-Britain an-i Russia, which was initiated July 25, 1963, Signed August 5,1963, and ratified by the United States Senai., September 241, 1163-, broughtto -an end the atmospheric testing programs of the signat1ories'. A review
of the atmospheric test shot' schedules shows thalt the a(,.-al cessation w',assome months• earlier. Th; Chinese, test at Sirian:, on October 16, 1964.,was the 0nly known ,>•ddition to the atmosýphere h5W above ground testing durin{;the period covered by this report.
In 196/4, the maximum res,'ults occurred in the generalppriod of iay-Augu.t, with certaitn ex'ceptions as indicated in the taLbu.arresults. The monthly averages in this report, asn well as the yearly

The increased turbulence inthevicinityCf this Threakj in the tropopause is thought to cc .e aninc:.reascd t,.r,: ,. from stratosphere to troposphcre in these regions.
Thus, there is an increase in radio nuclidep in oux en.-iroo•mental vectorsfrom perviously injected contaminan•:.: residing in the stratosphere.
