| Description | AIRNET is a radiological ambient air sampling network in Los Alamos, Santa Fe, and Rio Arriba counties designed to measure levels of airborne radionuclides such as plutonium, tritium, and uranium that may be emitted from Laboratory operation. {copied from http://www.lanl.gov/environment/air/airnet.shtml] The numeric data are provided in tables for each monitoring site and also graphed as plots to show trends from 1999 to the present. LANL also provides emissions data from stacks that may vent to the environment. This is in accordance with 40 CFR 61, Subpart H: National Emission Standards for Emissions of Radionuclides Other than Radon from Department of Energy Facilities (EPA 1989). See http://www.lanl.gov/environment/air/neshap/stack_sampling.shtml for a full explanation of this program and the resulting data. | ||
