Daily Data Summary
As the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has said, we do not expect to see radiation at harmful levels reaching the U.S. from damaged Japanese nuclear power plants. As part of the federal government's continuing effort to make our activities and science transparent and available to the public, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will continue to keep all RadNet data available in the current online database. EPA is working with its federal partners and has deployed additional monitors to Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
EPA is utilizing this existing nationwide radiation monitoring system, RadNet, which continuously monitors the nation's air and regularly monitors drinking water, milk and precipitation for environmental radiation. The RadNet online searchable database contains historical data of environmental radiation monitoring data from all fifty states and U.S. territories.
EPA will provide daily data summaries of our radiation air monitoring efforts. We will continue to keep all RadNet data available in the current
online database.

As of 12:00pm (EDT) EPA's RadNet radiation air monitors across the U.S. show typical fluctuations in background radiation levels. The levels detected are far below levels of concern.
As of 8:00am (EDT) EPA's RadNet radiation air monitors across the U.S. show typical fluctuations in background radiation levels. The levels detected are far below levels of concern.

March 24, 2011
As of 1:00pm (EDT) EPA's RadNet radiation air monitors across the U.S. show typical fluctuations in background radiation levels. The levels detected are far below levels of concern.
On Monday, March 21 - preliminary monitor results in Hawaii detected minuscule levels of an isotope that were consistent with the Japanese nuclear incident. This detection varied from background and historical data in Hawaii. This isotope was detected at our fixed monitor in Hawaii, and it was far below any level of concern for human health. The sampling filter from this monitor has been sent to our national radiation lab for further analysis.
