Several years ago, samples of scalp hair were collected by an NSMRL investigator at the beginning and end of a Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine patrol. When the hair samples were analyzed, cadmium levels were found, which were determined to be many times reference population levels . Air samples were collected and analyzed for several toxic contaminants, which should indicate whether or not atmospheric contamination is present in any areas of the submarines, as well as at any of the control sites sampled. There appear to be no problems, atmospherically, aboard the submarines or at the control sites.
