Japanese Nuclear Emergency: Radiation Monitoring

RadNet Deployable Monitoring Data

EPA no longer updates the information at this link, but it may be useful as a reference or resource. This site contains information and data from March 11, 2011 to June 30, 2011. EPA has returned to routine RadNet operations. This site will continue to be available for historical and informative purposes.

For real-time air monitoring data, please visit the EPA RadNet website and Central Data Exchange. To view both current and historical laboratory data, please visit our Envirofacts database.

EPA's Radnet Air Monitoring Data Map

EPA has 40 deployable radiation air monitors that can be sent anywhere in the United States to gather additional data. The RadNet deployable monitors have built-in weather stations and measure gamma radiation. Like all RadNet radiation air monitors, the RadNet deployable monitors send both weather and gamma radiation readings to EPAs National Air and Radiation Environmental Laboratory, hourly.
