In 1974 the Laboratory of Radiation Ecology began a program to determine the radionuclides found in foods, plants, animals, and soils of the Central Pacific. As part of this program the present study was undertaken to determine radionuclides found in the common foods and soils in areas of Micronesia other than those areas receiving local fallout from the test sites at Bikini or Enewetak atolls. Areas sampled in 1975 were Majuro Atoll 1n the Marshall Islands, Trnk and Ponape in the Caroline Islands, Guam in the Marianas Islands and koror and Babelthaup in the Palau Islands.
