LAHDRA

The LAHDRA Project assembled pieces of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) history to evaluate releases of materials that had the potential to cause off-site health hazards. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted this project to systematically review all available documents related to LANL operations and identify records that contributed information about releases of chemicals and radionuclides from the site between 1943 and present.
