BARC participated in the Ninth Expedition mainly to collect background baseline data on natural radioactivity and trace heavy metal concentrations in air, water and rock samples and also to measure background gamma dose rate in air and tritium levels in the ocean as well as in Antarctic fresh waters. The observations made during this expedition and the results of the analyses on the samples collected are presented in this report. Mans impact on the oceanic environment has always been the cause of great concern. In order to obtain a background level concentration in a less habitated region like Antarctica, an extensive survey was carried out by collecting air, water and environmental samples during the Ninth Expedition from 30 Nov., 1989 to 27 Mar., 1990.
