EPA RadNet System Currently, 125 permanent RadNet stations Deployable stations set up in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Northern Marianas Islands Capable of detecting above background levels, but do not expect any harmful levels Real-time data have shown only typical background fluctuations For daily RadNet data: www.epa.gov/japan 2011

` EPA's RadNet monitors across the US show typical fluctuations in background radiation levels.

` Additional Deployable Monitors were sent to the Aleutian islands, Hawaii, Guam and Saipan to improve monitoring coverage for this event.

` The levels detected are far below levels of concern

` Trace levels of radioactive isotopes measured are consistent with the Japanese nuclear incident and far below levels of public health concern.

` Additional exposure from well below 1 mrem for individuals in US and Territories

` Measured levels hundreds to thousands of times lower than FDA Derived Intervention Levels (DILS)

` Greater risk from Radon - 257 mrem/yr NCRP 160, 2009

` Bottom line? Test your house for radon!

While we do not expect radiation from the damaged Japanese reactors to reach the United States at harmful levels, I want to assure you that EPA will continue our coordination with our federal partners to monitor the air, milk, precipitation and drinking water for any changes, and we will continue our outreach to the public and the elected officials to provide information on our monitoring results.
