  1. environmental monitoring Pål Andersson (pal.andersson@ssm.se)

  2. From the appropriations directions for 2009 MonitoringSSM should have good knowledge about radiation levels in the environment, as well as good knowledge about changes in these levels, either caused by natural processes, new or changed human activities, or accidents.

  3. Euratom treaty, article 35/36 Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty requires each Member State to establish the facilities necessary to carry out continuous monitoring of the level of radioactivity in the air, water and soil Recommendation to monitor the following: Airborne particulatessurface waterwater intended for human consumptionmilkmixed diet.

  4. Helcom and Ospar conventions Helcom recommends to sample water sediment, fish, aquatic plants and benthic animals (additional samples are also recommended). Agreed within Ospar to sample water and molluscs.

  5. 3 types of monitoring Early warning and emergency preparedness Local monitoring at nuclear facilities National monitoring

  6. External gamma radiation

  7. European stations (28 in Sweden) http://eurdep.jrc.ec.europa.eu

  8. Airborne particles 6 stations 1000 m3/h 56cm x 56cm Operated by the Swedish defence research agency, FOI

  9. Reference Measurements • 2 instruments in each municipality • 2 - 4 reference points in each municipality • Approx. 900 ref. pts totally
