Description of the Book:

Stream samples were collected at 5 time periods–Nov. 23-24, 1974, Feb. 21-22 and Apr 25, 1975, and Feb 6 and Apr 30, 1976 — from selected sites on Rocky and Turkey Creeks, Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Rocky Creek is in a drainage area for some depleted uranium while Turkey Creek is not. The physical parameters pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen were measured as the water samples were taken. The algae present in the samples were identified to genus, and the algal populations in Rocky Creek were compared to those in Turkey Creek. Three species of green algae were isolated from water samples taken from Rocky Creek and obtained in axenic culture. The sensitivity of these three isolates to U3O8, UO2 and uranyl nitrate was determined in laboratory tests
