AQMD - Radiation Exposure to Southern California
You have probably heard news reports about harmful radiation escaping from damaged nuclear power plants in Japan following the recent tsunami. The South Coast Air Quality Management District, your local air pollution agency, has operated radiation monitors for several years for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has assured us there is no increased risk of harmful levels of radiation exposure in the United States.
AQMD monitors radiation levels at three sites in Southern California and sends the radiation measurements every hour to EPA. The California Department of Public Health also operates an additional radiation monitor in Southern California. Starting today, you can get a daily update regarding levels of radiation in Southern California at AQMD’s website at www.aqmd.gov. Monitors operated by AQMD/EPA will detect any change in outdoor radiation levels.
