Abstract:

The Environmental Radiation Ambient Monitoring System (ERAMS) is a national network of monitoring stations that regularly collect air, water, precipitation, and milk samples for analysis of radioactivity. The ERAMS network, which has stations in each State, has been used to track environmental releases of radioactivity from nuclear weapons tests and nuclear accidents. Future uses of this network might include monitoring waste disposal and radioactive cleanup sites.

          ERAMS also documents the status and trends of environmental radioactivity; these data are published by NAREL in a quarterly report entitled Environmental Radiation Data. The ERAMS Web site listed above provides a link to this publication. Environmental Radiation Data contains data from the ERAMS as well as data from similar networks operated by contributing States, Canada, Mexico, and the Pan American Health Organization, when available.
