Abstract
Industrial waste was studied concerning its radioactive pollution. Using kn own properties of;the solid state nuclear track detector CR-39 we found amo ng a high concentration of more or less homogeneously distributed single ct -tracks discrete spots of very high enrichments of cl-particles created by so called hot particles. We will. report about the alpha-activity, the conc entration of hot particles and about their ability to be air borne.
