The purpose of this report is to review the characteristics of particulate contamination which set it apart from the other phases of the radiation control program and make it necessary to apply to it different concepts, analytical procedures, and control measures. The program is treated as one in the appraisal and control of dusts and fumes. The fact that the material is radioactive introduces certain new details, but this does not make the problem basically different from others in the field of industrial dust control
