A ten year retrospective-prospective field epidemiological study is described of indi¬viduals employed in the early years of the radium dial painting industry in northern New Jersey. Clinical, dental, roentgeno¬graphic, clinical laboratory, radiochemical, histologic and other biomedical and dosi¬metric data are reported and preliminary evaluation of radiation dose-biomedical effects relationships is described. Resumes on cases with known body burdens and on controls are presented in an accompanying volume.
