Due to the nature of database search techniques, researchers should not consider HAI's search of the databases to be exhaustive. This is intended to provide an idea of the volume of material available on these particular topics. In addition, the use of the databases are restricted to personnel with specialized training.

In 1953, EML, formerly the Health and Safety Laboratory, began a program to measure strontium-90 in soil through a joint effort with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service located in Beltsville, Maryland. Known as the EML Soil Inventory and Archives, the program maintains several thousand samples, including lake sediments, atmospheric dust, seawater, bone ash, and diet ash, within the Laboratory's Sample Archives. Several projects conducted between 1970 and 1975 involve soil sampling of the environment surrounding the Rocky Flats site. A guide to the collection is available through the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia, 22161.

Operated under a grant from the DOE, the National Human Radiobiology Tissue Repository of the USTUR is a centralized facility for the storage of tissues, histopathology slides, tissue blocks, and related materials from individuals (primarily DOE workers) with documented intakes of radium, plutonium, uranium, americium, or other radioactive elements. The primary mission of the USTUR is to assure the adequacy of radiation protection standards for actinide elements such as plutonium and uranium. Data is released from the registries without personal identifiers. Interested scientific researchers may obtain tissue samples from the registries through written requests. The registry contains some samples from Rocky Flats workers.
