Arc, what is being measured, and what do the levels mean? Thanks.
Report Comment
the measurements are in nanosieverts/hr
80 nsievert/hr = 0.08 microsievert/hr
1600 nsievert/hr = 1.6 microsieverts/hr
also there are measurements in bq/m3, usually the beta and alpha..
you will notice one graph has 140 bq/m3 peak! 10 bequerel is the notifiable amount.
lots of different isotopes, with lots of high readings..
lots of monitors switched off
and eurdep is not allowing access to the full range of available isotope measurments!
they have stations in japan measuring gamma but i am unable to access the graphs… eurdep is going to have a change soon.. its going global… will it remain public??
if you have any specific questions about eurdep.. please sk and i will show you how in the next video!!

Food For Thought;
I am paying attention when i see those numbers. But, to my understanding there is a problem with only considering becquerels (or CPM, like I do so often) since that is like an equivelant rate of flow; (i.e.-the water is traveling at 10 feet per second [refering to the 140 bq/m3]), we need to cross reference to sieverts or beter yet, rem, and to get to that we need a size and proximity (i.e.- the water is traveling at 10 feet per second and the channel is 10′ wide by 2′ deep and is acting on 2 sqft of your body surface area, yeilding an pressure to the body of X psi and a resultant magnitude of X pounds) Equating the “X psi” to REM and “resultant magnitude of X” to your likely hood of illness from exposure. This is just a educated though open to criticisum and correction, but isnt this how we will know if the 4.7×10^5 bq/m3 that was recorded in North Caolina air monitoring station was actually harmful to us? Then dont forget that that monitoring station only considered the particulate and not the noble gasses that were also present, effectivel doubling that previous measurements and pushing our exposure to superceed EPA limits. We should be working to make these numbers practical, so we are only concerned when we should be aaaannnddd so we are not missing the boat if the super smog is really at our doors step! is there any way to realiable make these convertions with the info available to us? Thoughts?

the bequerel measurement is useful to quantify the amount of something in the air and is used in terms of beta and alpha as thier is little measurement in terms of gieger monitors.. thats the problem with plutonium and tritium, you cant measure them unless you test them for content in their sorroundings…
cesium and iodine give large gamma and are easily measured by a gieger.. but you would still need a spectroanalysis to know how much of a material and what materiak is in their.. and that would be measured in bequerel too!
thats my understanding..
oh and do you know the equivalent for 1.6 microsieverts/hr into cpm.. it will be iodine 131 measured..?? got that measured in hungary and unknown isotopes in new zealand ….was just wondering

Your previous video post emulates the hope of many. we have messed this world up so much our illusion of control, now our only hope is Christ. Radiation has been allowed to contaminate DNA after leaving eden, and there has been a loss of genetic data since then. But we are accelerating the process with our desire to tamper with foundational building blocks and if we don’t stop it soon we will have trouble we cant handle. But our hope is in Christ’s return. He suffered so we dont have to. And you dont have to if you acccept his gift. Then you dont worry, just pray and study and spread the knowledge that saves others too. If the “BOOK” is wrong, you would have loved people and changed lives for the better for no good reason, if the “BOOK” is correct, your choice to accept the free gift will be the only one that really matters in the end, and your joy will be full.

Breaking! Hot Gas products Kill!
(Dedicated to my Enewser family here)
Here is the ugliest truth Spirit has ever shown. Now we know why there is more background radiation in the world. Way more than would normally be.
The gist of this report, they Frack the oils and gas from the earth destroying water tables like it has done ours and many others in this area whose water is so full of sulfuric chemicals the house is more or less useless. It is because the water even after filtering is so horrid and it makes life miserable in dealing with a tainted well water system that has had gas wells drilled on the square miles around. This used to be a nice place until they discovered oil and gas and drilled and destroyed the water tables around here.
Fracking with radioactive “and carcinogenic materials” and then running it through everything that burns gas. Think about that. Is it contaminating the natural background with more and more and more accumulation of radiations every day? Is this how the US has been playing it’s part in the Population Reduction game? Imagine, every time you turn on your heater like ours that burns propane, you are getting higher readings of radiation and all that is actually gassing you all night as you sleep! OMG!! Say it aint true.
No, it is not true, but that is a lie. Our tests have proven to our own disbelieving eyes that it is true as some of these pictures of back ground and heater readings show. We would put the counter on clean paper background and took ten minute Total Counts for the average back ground and then we put the counter in a baggie and did the same for the heater checks. Our results freaked us out. Been sitting and pondering this for awhile now.

More horrible news that confirms the use of radioactive materials in the fracking of the gas and oil wells. It is in the entire system and of course, who else would be pushing this population reduction and people killing mechanism into play as a long term killer that also perpetuates the medical mafia, and big pharma, and all the rest that profit from sickness, death, and war? These are yes, the same ones that are in control of the iaea that is not admitting to the radioactive killing fallout that is coming from the three reactors that are still melting down and getting worse as each day goes by in Fukushima, Japan.
All the while, these same evil things that own the companies like GE and others keep the media minions from telling the truth about their own deaths. The lame stream media people are dying like the rest of the nation and they still blindly obey the Orwellian agenda to kill them too. Stupid is as stupid does. Are you beginning to see how devious and sinister the evil plans behind plans are? There is always method in this madness. Strange, sad, and true. It is the “see no evil hear no evil” kind of situation:

This is insane to think this has gone on so long and thanks to the bush/obama regime, it is also immune to any laws that protect people, watersheds, and aquifers. Read from this link below:
http://www.workers.org/2011/us/fracking_wastes_0324/
“Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) involves the high-pressure injection of millions of gallons of salty, chemically laden water deep into underground fissures in the shale area to force natural gas to the surface. The wastewater that returns to the surface from fracking contains radioactive materials such as uranium and radium that occur naturally in deep rock formations.
Natural gas drilling companies are exempt from many of the federal environmental laws written to protect air and drinking water from radioactive and hazardous chemicals.”

“The documents, according to the Times, revealed that the wastewater from this process is often hauled to sewage plants not designed to treat it and is then discharged into rivers that supply drinking water. The Times stated that the wastewater “contains radioactivity at levels higher than previously known, and far higher than the level that federal regulators say is safe for these treatment plants to handle.”
The Times found “never-reported studies by the EPA and a confidential study by the drilling industry that all concluded that radioactivity in drilling waste cannot be fully diluted in rivers and other waterways.”
Wastewater from more than 116 wells had radiation levels 100 times federal drinking-water standards. Wastewater from 15 had more than 1,000 times the amount of acceptable radioactive elements. In 2009 and 2010, public sewage treatment plants upstream from drinking-water intake facilities accepted wastewater with radioactivity levels as high as 2,122 times acceptable standards.”
How bad is it now people when we now know that all radioactive fossil fuel burning machines and devices, cars and heaters, BBQ’s and everything that burns gas is killing us faster and faster now that you also add in to that the fallout from fukushima. Can you say slow radiation poisoning planet wide?
And if you think that was not enough, we have also recently discovered that electromagnetic energy propagates radon and causes radiation to be intensified around all things electric.
We researched some and found the following after getting a Trimeter electromagnetic tester. OMG!

Here we go.
So, we now have theses two horrible releases of radiation added to all the ancient historic radiation, and now find that electric fields also instigate higher levels of radiations. There is also a lot of evidence that points to large amounts of electromagnetic exposure causing cancers and leukemia and other assorted radiation sickness related diseases. Heart attacks! The revelation is, the oil and power industries are the same ones that are not only financially killing the world, they are physically killing everyone on it at the same time. Could be a synchronized plan to crash the world’s economy, and kill a lot of people at the same time. Whoduh thunk?

Radon Near Power Lines
“Henshaw, et al. (reference 38) report that naturally occurring
radioactive daughters of radon are enhanced near power lines. After the daughters attach themselves to aerosols, the neutral aerosols are attracted by the gradient of the E-field towards the power line. Because the contaminated aerosols oscillate with the power frequency, they would tend to plate out more frequently on the skin. The aerosols containing the radioactive radon daughters would also be inhaled into the lungs in a strong enough concentration to cause cancer.”
“Detractors of this theory respond as follows: Radon concentrations in open air near power lines are very slight. The half-lives of the radon daughters are relatively short, thus making the transition to humansat a distance problematical. Some epidemiology data shows an association with magnetic fields, but essentially none show an association with electric fields. Residences beyond the right-of-way of power lines do not have considerable elevated electric fields. One would expect enhanced lung cancer which is not reported in excess near power lines, rather than the usual suspects of leukemia and brain cancer. Lastly, one would expect the radioactive aerosols to plate out on the power lines or on the skin in comparison to lung deposition.”

Cancer Mechanisms
“Chemicals, such as unburned carbon, and EM radiation at frequencies above the visible region have sufficient energy to directly initiate cancer.”
“Cancer can be initiated by direct damage to the genetic material of cells (genotoxicity), or it can be promoted by increasing the probability that a genotoxic exposure will cause cancer (epigenetic activity or promotion). Direct cancer effects are exemplified by the breaking of chemical bonds in DNA, while indirect effects could promote the likelihood, severity or speed that cancer might be caused once the DNA bonds had been broken. It is conjectured that ELF/EMF could supply currents, torques, or forces in the body that could enhance the risk of cancer, such as the reduction of melatonin from the pineal gland from the action of ELF/EMF on magnetite in the brain. Or, ELF/EMF could be part of a multistep biological process. In order to clearly establish these conjectures, it is necessary to demonstrate a meaningful combination of positive findings from epidemiology and biomedical-biophysical experiments, which are consistent with a theoretical biophysical mechanism. The stronger the evidence from epidemiology, the lesser the requirement to have a consistent theoretical mechanism in order to take a public policy position, but conversely, weak epidemiology evidence should be treated with great caution.”
Report Comment
Epidemiology
“Epidemiology examines disease and health in human populations by
identifying associations between the occurrence of human diseases and the possible causes of those disease. The scientific panels that have reviewed the ELF/EMF epidemiology data have separated the results by the type of cancer. For example, recently three studies of ELF/EMF on electrical workers have appeared. The 1993 California study reported no association with either leukemia or brain cancer. The 1993 Canadian-French study reported an association with leukemia and astrocytoma, out of the 32 cancer types studied.”

Shake it all up.
In our hood, we have readings that are averages of 3 milli-Gauss (mG) and higher in and out around the house. A few ticks above the accepted level and still higher than normal.
We also checked the tall power lines out on the property and they are as high as 9 mG! and way to close to our house. The lowest reading next to the river away from the house and power lines was .5 mG. We did not want those lines anywhere near our land, but they were more determined than we could be to stop it and change it all at the time. We did not know how dangerous it was going to be and we even asked them about this very subject years ago and they said, oh don’t worry, it is OK. Knew he was lying, and now why.
So we have the electric fields stirring up the dusty radiation, all that mox-plutonium that hit in March and is still coming at us daily, all the ancient radiations, all the radiations for all radioactive-gas burning things, all the radon radiations, and then add all that up and what do you get? Population Reduction…slow radiation poisoning and an attack on the worlds people. Do you care?
Put some more pieces of the puzzle into this and you will have an even bigger picture to contemplate. Like for one, how will the Sun’s intensity and record setting radiations that are coming this spring and summer going to effect all that? And even worse, how would a few nuklear devices that were used to bomb an innocent country effect all that? Hummmmm…..

Analysis of the Nuremberg IPPNW and scholar Dr. Alfred Körblein show, have increased dramatically as the emissions at the beginning of this year’s revision in Gundremmingen. “The maximum is reached, the noble gas concentration is 500 times the normal value,” said Körblein.
“The IPPNW warned of the likely health consequences of such emission peaks. “Particularly at risk are unborn children in the womb. Pregnant women take during the operational phases with open reactor pressure vessel with the radioactive nuclides breathing more than usual, “said Reinhold Thiel, a board member of the IPPNW. “On the maternal bloodstream and the placenta, then the radiant substances reach the unborn child.” Certain radiation-sensitive tissues of the embryo or fetus can be “marked” absolutely radioactive at such times, according to Thiel (“labeling”). These include the embryonic stem cells of the hematopoietic system, which could later lead to leukemia.
““For a reasonable scientific analysis to protect unborn children, we need now of all nuclear power plants unaveraged values of all the radioactive half-hour readings,” Thiel calls. “These values have been treated by the regulators and the nuclear power plant operators as company property and despite repeated requests have been provided only in averaged form.”

Today, Jan 31, 10 am Pacific Standard Time, New Westminster, BC
Close to Vancouver for those not familiar. Generally report as Vancouver, but actual location of measurement is New Westminster BC which is located besides the Fraser river. Even though I’m half hour drive from the ocean, the tide does affect the river. Also where I live is on top of the hill perhaps a couple of hundred feet above sea level. Walking down the hill effectively allows me to measure two elevations. I’m guestimating one level 10 to 20 ft above sea level and the other a couple of hundred ft above sea level. I have found that my measurements are higher at top of hill and lower when I get to the bottom of the hill. Today I am getting .13 to .16 µSv at top of hill and .09 to .11 µSv at bottom of hill. No spikes all yellow bar through 15 minute walk. Consistant lower readings in apartment which is a couple of stories high but located at the top of the hill. Was getting .07 last night in room with no hepa filter but windows always closed.
I notice Risabee is getting higher readings then usual. I wonder if her higher elevation has something to do with it? My higher readings are at my higher elevation. Arclight, good investigation! Most people don’t have the time to dig through the info that is actually available to cut through the lies and deception. James Tekton, they say there is radiation in coal so there is probably radiation in gas and oil too they are all fossil fuels.

This censorship might be explained away as institutional related to budget cutbacks; but is not this, or the cutbacks are a way of dismepowering the majority against the titular cliques running things. The same thing happens with weather data collected in the U.S. The weather data gathering locations have often been defunded, particularly after the year 2000, when 9 of our 10 of our warmest years on record have occurred. I’ve been a shade-tree climatologist nerd for about 34 years. Look at the interesting, and I know global warming cannot be determined from one data treatment/analysis: http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?nv6779, for Reno Nevada. First here look at the long-term averages, then look here for the past 13 years: http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?nv6779 for the summer months overnight lows (minima).

This data is not explained by any heat island effect in Reno. There is none. The data is so tight because of the terrain that holds Reno and where it sits on the continent, as well as due to its elevation and distance north. It’s an interesting canary in the coalmine kind of site. There are many others around the planet.

Hi majia. When I taught Friday, students were leaving the classroom to take a TB skin test. One student said he thought he had TB because he was coughing all the time. I couldn’t say much. I just said that I missed my 50th class reunion because I didn’t want to pay for a lot of expensive food that I thought was unsafe because it had radiation on it from Fukushima.
Report Comment
Anne that was a good way of “politely” suggesting the cause of their coughing…
Report Comment
At the time, I just said that there could be any number of reasons why someone could be coughing. It was maybe half an hour later that I mentioned by class reunion and why I didn’t go.
Bloggers got so mad at me for what I am saying on this website. In my real life I was never allowed to talk when I was growing up. This is my chance. Besides I can’t stand that my daughter has had so much pain from her cancer and the surgeries (4 already) which are just biopsies, chemo, and radiation that she chose to undergo. She is cancer free for now, but not pain free. Besides, her children and grandchildren need her to stay alive.
Some old guy came by this afternoon selling house insulation. He remarked about all my greenhouses which are in front of my house. I told him I was keeping the radioactive rain from Fukushima off my food.
He just gulped and looked horrified. The look on his face was, “don’t tell me that.” I think people know something is wrong. They just don’t want to think about all the food they are eating that is contaminated. I eat some food I shouldn’t every now and then. I get hungry. But there is a whole lot more that I avoid. I don’t know of any way to completely avoid all radiation. I just know which choices are better.
Report Comment
People do not want to know, I agree.
Scary thought if your food is contaminated. Too scary to contemplate.
Our minds are not evolved for handling invisible threats.
I wish someone with knowledge about radnet could weigh in on the likelihood that the entire system would be missing data for 2 or 3 days.
Is it a legitimate technical problem?
Is it a Fukushima burp of poison being censored?
Does radnet “go down” whenever nuke plants in the US have critical incidents?
One wonders what is going on here…

Update from Toronto
Today was a very bad day in Toronto. Starting early in the morning,I had continuous pain/pressure in my lungs until 12PM. Starting at 5 PM, I had and still have a terrible headache, some thyroid reaction as well as a little bit of pain in my lungs. I felt exhausted most of the day. There is definitely something going on at Fukushima and in Ilinois.

“Is it a Fukushima burp of poison being censored?

Yes, and yes.
I have been using Radnet data in a (pre-Fuku) fibromyalgia project. The gross beta radiation data is a lab analysis of the same filters that are used in the hourly beta levels.
They don’t match up well, in fact I had the sign of a correlation reversed for one city. So the hourly and daily data is not very trustworthy, even when they are not censoring it.

Dear Anne: I support you and apologize if you are attacked. You definitely work very hard here and I appreciate it.

Plus, your response, raising your food in greenhouses is going in the right direction. Getting water that is uncontaminated by radiation is the next step for everyone, whether or not they wish to hear it. We can learn by your example. BTW, and I know you’re sharp enough to already know this, there ARE solutions to getting relatively radionuclide free water if we can release the creativity of more people in this struggle.

hi maja.. do you think they co-ordinate the releases? i mean the iaea has got to do something for its monet.. its obvious that the romanian and hungarian situation is being VERY ignored.. the article about finland and cs 137 got me thinking.. how do they seperate the chernobyl cs137 from daichi cs137 and other known and unknown releases.. this is the first time anyone has bothered to look.. and its not a pretty sight.. why no gieger counter citizens in illinois? the survivalist groups should have a gieger counter! its a bit of a must, post armeggeddon! reason is that people have been sidetracked…
this euro contamination had me really puzzled but i think i am starting to see a bigger picture now.. multiple reactors leaking or giving off excesss isotopes (legally) the monitoring systems that give the end of year total are severely massaged to give an average well below the real average.. then the icrp steps in and announces an average amount per person and issues the all safe!! health and safety paperwork filed.. staistics gleaned for future funding and bullshit arguments… and the public is non the wiser.. will post another video of eurdep soon.. be7 has been taken off eurdep but i got it on video!! and thats a very short lived isotope i believe.. from a damaged reactor??
so that also explains the mid atlantic monitor switch offs.. mainly from american coastal reactor/s? and sometimes european ones too maybe?
eurdep is changing soon and i think its going to do the “nilu” and hide behind a password for the rich and famous..
and the iaea is talking bullshit if they cant trace the emmisions…
oh and canada is so contaminated that the universities could not check the soil for the newspaper as the truth would have got out!! remember my radioactive canadian cherry? of course it got hit by fukushima but they dont know where the hot spots are! and they darent check.
kinda all fits together doesnt it?

THIS MORNINGS READING… got lower as the day went on and now ticking away at a tight 0.13 microsievert/hr average.. some peaks but rare… the reactors in europe seem to have quitened down a bit.. so just the hotspots in the videos.. doesnt portblog watch them?? the spallation thing is more like a happens all the time thing!! every week in some cases and once or twice a day… ive put the info on the videos..
the ratio from hungary/romania to sweden and finland corresponds with the higher level being in the south of finland and the lower isotopes readings are further in the north! CO 60, CS 137, IODINE 131 etc also you will find the signature BE 7, you might also notice a north south ratio in beta! not fuku!! just blamed on fuku!! and working ncely except for that darn evidence on eurdep!!

heres the video, as promised.. be7 not on the map today?? no be7 or switch off?
loads of zeroes on the finish map (small amounts), i think correspond to the southerly releases of the same isotopes.. any real evidence of measurable daichi isotopes in europe? is it all from our own reactors… heres the rabbit hole….

“We learned on November 17 by an official statement from the IAEA that the Authority with Hungarian Atomic energy (HAEA) had informed the U.N. agency owing to the fact that the source of the iodine 131 rejections was most probably an institute of production of radioisotopes in Budapest. The rejections would have intervened of September 8 to November 16, 2011.”

I suggest we use the location convention above when posting background radiation levels here, Country, state, city or county. The date should be written out as well because we all use different methods of dating. It will make it so much easier to instantly tell where and when the background radiation data was recorded.
The local background radiation is finally coming back down to nearly normal levels after a week of elevation. Dark blue line in this chart is about.13 uS/Hr.
Average has been .10 uS/Hr for many years.

Finally, I’ve got my act together, I guess! I got back from Okinawa on January 23rd. Had some jet lag, and then just felt kinda down, missing my kids. I was visiting my youngest son and my 4 month old grandson.
OK, I took my geiger counter, and was able to get some readings, off my sons balcony (7th floor, facing East, I think); on grassy field, about a 100 yards from the ocean, not far from my sons apartment (on a marine base). Each reading ranged between 20 and 50 CPM, on the lowest setting (1X). I do not have an averager program yet, so I just sit and watch the meter for a few minutes. Most readings were between 20 and 40 CPM, actually, the same readings I get here in Bellingham.
