20. ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse aide It neceaaary and Identity by block number) 



Possible techniques for monitoring the biological, chemical, and physical 

 effects of underwater explosion tests are described, and the results of the 

 evauluation of a limited number of possible methods are given. The funds 

 and man-hours required for techniques at different levels of sophistication 

 are estimated. It is concluded that simple inexpensive monitoring techni- 

 ques are adequate for routine explosion tests. However, an extra person 

 would be needed in the crew in order to accomplish the monitoring without 

 adding appreciably to the time spent in the field.
