Caption:
This 1963 image, depicts a view inside one of the laboratories, located at the former Southeastern Radiological Health Laboratory (SRHL) in Montgomery, Alabama, which is now known as the National Air and Radiation Environmental Lab, and is part of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This laboratory technician was standing in front of a bank of ion-exchange columns, which she was using to separate strontium-90, and yttrium-90 from milk samples, visible inside each column. Modern day protocols now call for the laboratorian, executing such tasks, to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety goggles, gloves, and a facemask.
