    The funny thing is that our rates for lung cancer just east of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado are quite a bit below the norm for the US despite the radon and the radiation from the sun. This may be due to the fact that we don't have an operating nuclear power plant in Colorado.

      thats interesting anne.. do you think local weather conditions may be advantages in colorado? ie do you think that the wind patterns manage to clear small contamination clouds of radon or nuke puke away quickly? that might account for high strikes and low lung cancer rates..

      what isotope/s though??

      i have noticed some mornings that i get a high reading in the house after the clouds have passed by.. the outside reading is lower..

      so the dust/gas can accummulate in the house overnight!

      people in high radon areas generally have ventilation systems put in place to move the gas out of the house..

      am i off base here? (has been known..

      im posting a video.. on the you tube description ,at the bottom is a link to an ODL german monitor highlighted up to the 20th april.. you can see pulses of gamma moving across germay in the south east from the direction of turkey around the 4 april ..!! also after eurdep got closed for public use on the 6 april :( there was another pulse on the 20 april! we know why its still off then??

      nice bit of evidence to add to the turkey earthquake theory.. will be posting a seperate video about that later in the week
      but heres the sneak preview ! :)
      peace and no nukes!! ;)

    Hello,

    Once again some relatively better news from the french switzerland,
    since three days the winds coming from the SW,
    the radiation background outside – readings taken during about 10 minutes – situated between 0.09mcSv/h and 0.14mcSv/h, with the average of 0.11, 0.12mcSv/h.

    Have a good week everyone!

      good to hear things are quite down there.. did you check the above link for the odl fallout video? it shows a pulse around the 20 april hitting south eastern germany and of course on on the 4 april too! see if you can match your readings to the video description…

      have a good week too margot and thanks for posting your results!!

    Polonium 214 decays by alpha emission to lead 210.

    An example is the natural decay chain of 238U which is as follows:
    decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 4.5 billion years to thorium-234
    which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 24 days to protactinium-234
    which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 1.2 minutes to uranium-234
    which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 240 thousand years to thorium-230
    which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 77 thousand years to radium-226
    which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 1.6 thousand years to radon-222
    which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 3.8 days to polonium-218
    which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 3.1 minutes to lead-214
    which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 27 minutes to bismuth-214
    which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 20 minutes to polonium-214
    which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 160 microseconds to lead-210
    which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 22 years to bismuth-210
    which decays, through beta-emission, with a half-life of 5 days to polonium-210
    which decays, through alpha-emission, with a half-life of 140 days to lead-206, which is a stable nuclide.

          anne, i could be forgiven because i was testing rain water from the roof.

          A conduit intercepts some of the water flowing off the roof during rain.

          The said flow is then filtered coarsely, only to prevent a blockage of the small silicone rubber tube making its way to the Lead shielded testing chamber with a Thallium doped Sodium Iodide scintillation detector records gamma and then displays the result as a series of peaks.

          The theory is if there is enough fresh sample, in this case rain containing radon washout, it should be possible to get a clean gamma spectrum using continuous fresh sample, instead of getting a recording whilst the sample is becoming rapidly weaker.

          It has been raining now in Victoria Australia on and off for the past few hours and so with any luck it will continue raining so that a clearer gamma spectrum of the rain is generated. Hopefully showing some peaks from the decay of radon progeny.

          The rain captured through the silicone capillary tube reaches a plastic vessel with the inlet line wound around the front of the detector, and waste line from the vessel or 'flow cell' goes out onto the garden.

          The copper and lead shield was made by wrapping six 1mm thick X 150mm wide 3 meter long lengths around a copper pipe with 3mm wall thickness 150 mm long until the shielding of lead sheet was around 3 inches or 75mm approx thick.

          The entire six three meter long lengths of Lead weather flashing was from a plumbing supply outlet for just…

            The copper pipe is 60mm in diameter and with the Bicron Sodium Iodide detector in it there is enough room within a cylindrical shaped sample that is approx 55mm diameter and 60mm long/deep.

            If the link works, it is an old picture not showing the more recent plastic flow cell similar to the two shown in the pic, one of which is sitting on top of a detector, ready to go into the copper lined Lead testing chamber for sampling rain water off a roof close enough to 'real time'.

              One of the big improvements in the new rain water flow cell arrangement is to wind the plastic, rain water filled, capillary tube around the outside of the detector. This increases the amount of water in close proximity to the scintillation crystal head of the detector. And thus the size of the sample that will fit inside room available in the testing chamber is slightly increased, which is a good thing when trying to resolve a clean/clear gamma spectrum.

              Spectrometising,

              That is some shielding!

              I am very interested in what you detect from this arrangement.

              At my location of all the significant local rain events I have monitored I have only seen very small increases in local background that I could attribute to radon. The high local background radiation detections I have had have been when the weather event came from the Northern tropics off the Pacific.
              Ocean.

              The fact that the air came off the ocean would rule out radon as the main source.

    Hi folks,

    just wanted to let you know that tonight at 2.00 and 2.20 german time we had some nasty gamma spikes in Hamburg, Germany. I woke up because my gamma watch gave alarm. I set the threshold low (0,2 Microsievert/hr) but we normally see only 0,08-0,10 over here. So values up to 0,33 this night were unusual. Last time it gave alarm is months ago, I expect because of solar storms back then.

    breaking (from the 13 april)

    Ispra in italy registered a whopping 1.3 mcSv/h before switch off on the 13 april.. still awaiting the updated eurdep (work in progress maybe?)

    heres the chart showing the time and date and duration etc!

    read margots post above for confirmation of the incident (nice one margot .. merci!!)

    and maybe it was this pulse into the south west of germany seen on the ODL highlighted timelapsed video on the 20 april (also above) by that cool german lady with excellent timing !! ;)

    off to make a video!!

    oh and unbelievably for the second time .. ladies and gentlmen.. movement from a uk monitor on the 12 april to 0.25 mcSv/h for a few hours!! radon washout?? nahh!

      Actually, 0.3 mcSv is no prob because:
      1 Sv = about 100 rem.
      less than 25 rem (or .25 Sv), dosed all at once, has no immediate effect
      25-200 rems ( .25 to 2 Sv) produce nausea
      200-1000 rems (2 to 10 Sv) = serious illness
      1000+ rems (10 SV+) = fatal

      1 milli Sv (mSv) = .1 rem
      10 milli Sv= 1 hundredth of a Sv = 1 rem
      1 micro Sv (uSv, aka mcSv) = .1 of a mrem

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert

      If you get a reading of 1.3 mcSv per hour, that would be nearly 11 Sv per year which is less than background radiation.

        If 0.30uSv/h is no real problem, why does my dosimeter come with a default audible alarm setting of 0.35 uSv/h ?

        I know, it's not quite there.. but well, hey, it's getting very close. (I've seen my dosimeter vary by 0.05uSv/h moving from indoors to outdoors).

        Bottomline though, there should be no increase above background levels. Did you or I ask to be gradually poisoned like this. And this is just the beginning. Earth will no longer be the blue pearl, it's now tainted till it's end of time by the poisons we have created within a short window of time.

        If we see no increases, well then I guess we can rest a little. Let's see where it's at in another year or two or ten. This community rad monitoring is a whole new phenomenanana (oh ipad, where are you now). If we are lucky, it will fizzle out.

          0.30 mcSv/h of radon causes cancer because you breathe it in… its the old argument of internal and external emmitters.. also my gieger does beta.. 0.3 mcSv/h of beta can be alot of beta.. 30 bq/m3 i think, thats what i have seen of pb214 that eventually becomes stable pb206 that pollutes our forests (see above).. and lead is a BAD toxin for living creatures..

          lastly the isotopic reference we see in the air comes with non isotopic pollution that causes a range of health problems..

          err 11 sievert per year is normal background?? cheap flat in pipryat then? is it nice and quite there?? ;)

        You're obviously not following the linear no dose threshold of radiation exposure considered to be the scientifically correct standard. Nor are you considering the effect of internal emitters, ingested or breathed into the body.

    Yesterday around noon local Vancouver BC time basically still averaging .11 micro Sv/hr using Soeks 01m.
    No change really from last December when I started monitoring.
    I should be monitoring rain more but the few samples I tested were fine including snow. Arnie sez most of what fell on North America landed on the Cascades mountain range which end on the south shore of the Fraser river about 50 miles east of my location. Of course I want to believe that! But I want to stress on this public forum that the equipment I use is minimal and I understand the limitations of said equipment and the time limits of my investigation so still my final conclusion on possible Fuku fallout in Van is I don't know

    Don't get online very often so I want to thank everyone especially Arclight for all the hard work put into this thread. Really sad that judging from posted results radiation is being leaked fr local NP's in Europe USA and possible mining operations in Australia. It's really important work we do here as all governments seem to minimize the risks of radiation.

        interesting that the above and below ground measurements were the same?? snow on the ground would force the radon out into the cellar as it doesnt pass snow easily.. might this account for all the spikes.

        from this..

        "This is an indoor radiation monitor setup in Northeast Longmont, Colorado, USA.

        The detector is located sub-ground level near a window. Radon gas is a steady 1.2 pCi/L. Above-ground indoor vs below-ground indoor testing indicated no appreciable differences during several test runs. Therefore, the measurements here should represent the worst case indoor exposure.

        The detector is a Libelium made Radiation Sensor Board for Arduino. It's mated to an Arduino Uno and hooked up via a 25 foot active USB cable. The Arduino is running this sketch. On the host computer, this python program is running which reports the values to both Twitter and Pachube. The values are collected once every 10 minutes and published. The Arduino's on-board code keeps track of the real-time running average.

        This detector is run by Joey Stanford. He also runs the Ute Creek Golf Course Weather Station.
        Measurement Interpretation

        Colorado is normally two to four times over natural radiation predominately due to altitude. Brief spikes as high as six times over have been noted and matched up using a SIDS array to solar flares. The key number on this page is the Microsievert (μSv) number. 1… Natural background radiation is 0.23 μSv/h. This monitor reads on average about 0…

    hello everybody!

    french part of switzerland, walk,
    I find today's readings much less satisfying,

    the winds are still coming almost exclusively from SW, rarely from W, at some average of 30 km/h,

    the background radiation reading's range 0.10mcSv/h – 0.17mcSv/h

    the most frequent readings: 0.12, 0.13mcSv/h,

    found an air mass of 0.17mcSv/h that was some 50m long – what was that? there is no much radon here.

    The readings in Longmont, CO are the worst I've seen over a two day period. But look at how active HAARP is:

      Auroras in Colorado are also extremely uncommon:
      “QUIETING STORM, MORE TO COME: Earth's magnetic field is quieting after two straight nights of mild to moderate geomagnetic storms. At the height of the disturbance on April 23-24, auroras were spotted in more than a dozen US states including Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Colorado. On the threshold of the Arctic Circle in Anchorage, Alaska, the Northern Lights pierced the glow of the midnight sun….

      "’I didn't think I would get another glimpse of the auroras this season because of the increasing daylight,’ says photographer Ryan Delos Reyes, ‘but this was a spectacular show.’
      “More auroras may be in the offing. A minor CME is en route to Earth, due to arrive on April 26th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 20% to 30% chance of geomagnetic storms. …”

        Hello Anne, sorry to hear you are having such difficulties.

        Eastern Colorado readings on Radiation Network are very high this morning. It's 8:07AM Pacific time.

        Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Am having lots of digestive issues and am sure it is from radioactive contamination of food. Am going to start keeping a journal to see what causes the flare ups.

        Found neighbor's fruit tree with terrible discolorations on the leaves yesterday.

        All creation groans in travail.

      Last I heard last week they are both fine. The baby had his first checkup and had lost much less weight than large babies usually do.

      I don't have any money to move right now. I went this morning to the food bank for the first time. The food is probably radioactive, but at least some of it is organic. The ladies in line that I talked to said there was a lot more food than usual there. I got a whole case of frozen organic soy yogurt and fresh vegetables and pears. Someone gave me a ride home. It is just a block and a half from my house. Some of the food came from Walmart, maybe all of it as far as I know.

      My daughter is probably going to need me at some time, or visa versa, so I will probably just stay here. A nice place to die anyway. For all I know there are terrible readings elsewhere, but perhaps we just don't know about it. Although we aren't supposed to mention it I feel God put me here for a reason, and it is He who protects me anyway. Someone has to post the readings from here.

      Also, although I was only employed as a library assistant at Univ. of Colorado and have been retired since 1993, I still have faculty library privileges there. So I can get information online and through interlibrary loan that I couldn't get elsewhere. I've had to walk by faith alone and prayer many times in the past. The food bank that I went to is run by the Southern Baptist Church.

      Ok, I looked at the site in more detail.

      They are using a specialized atmospheric detector which is much more sensitive than a normal Geiger Counter. This is why the gamma count is so high. You can't compare this with a normal Geiger counter CPM.

      They should provide a reference in CPM for normal background using this device, otherwise you can not make a judgement.

    Porcelain water storage containers 0.22 uSv to 0.25 uSv per hour. These are from China; various manufacturers. Went to water supply sales place where I purchased one last week. Tested mine in his shop so he could see the readings.

    Then we tested new units in his store. Three of them gave the same high readings.

    The owner of the store is a chemical engineer by trade so he was very interested in knowing more about internal emitters. I need to send him some background information.

    We established to our satisfaction it's the units that are radioactive and not necessarily the water.

    Am now not sure what to do. Have a call in to Beyond Nuclear to see what they can recommend for follow up. Am going to do some further research to find out who can look into this. Does anyone know whom to call? Something should be done about this. If the porcelain water storage units are "hot" then other porcelain can be, too.

    IMHO the Department of Commerce should not be letting these into the country. From U.S., in California.

      The contaminated porcelain may or may not be originated from Fukushima. China had its own nuke testings in the past and contaminated their own land, people are ill and suffering silently over there. There are some documentaries about it on YT.

        The containers are marked as country of origin = China.

        I want to find out how to block them from being shipped out of China.

        What do you mean, they may have originated in Fukushima? Do you mean the contamination?

          Sorry I didn't explain it properly.
          There are number of ways that the porcelain became radioactive.
          1. It could be that they've used some clay that was naturally high in radioactive materials.
          2. Clay may have come from an area that was contaminated by either Chinese nuclear testing or Fukushima fall out.

          Japanese cement is now mixed with radioactive ash from waste disposal facilities. If China is buying cheap radioactive scrap/recycled metals from Japan, you could end up with new products that might emit harmful radioactive rays. It's already happening if you haven't read the news about brand new bicycle with its baskets emitting 10 mcSv/h.

          Even if the product says 'Made in China', you don't know where the raw materials came from unless you check with the manufacturer. Even then, they may not tell you.

          Perhaps once you find out more about it, contact your local newspaper. That way, people who haven't got an access to internet might get to know these things are beginning to happen. Good luck!

        It might not be"contaminated" porcelain. I think there can be naturally occurring radioactive elements in porcelain. Still, if the readings are high enough, its a concern regardless of the source, and you should get it checked out.

        HoTaters, please see my comment below; I clicked on "reply," but for some reason it didn't post it as a reply.

      Hi – You might try the FDA.What little inspection is done at our ports is done by them. Less than 3% of all imports including food and drugs are inspected. In the last few months they rejected, or "refused" in their terminology, bamboo shoots and something else from Japan for Cesium contamination. Here's a link to the website for import refusals. You can search by industry or country of origin and by month. http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/importrefusals/ It used to be much more user-friendly. Hmmm… I wonder why that was changed? Some of the information on there is quite disturbing, contaminated drugs, faulty medical devices, contaminated and adulterated food, condoms and exam gloves with holes.

      Hi HoTaters. Porcelain is a known potential source of radiation for various reasons, so your information won't surprise any regulatory types. However, you may be able to get them to take an interest because of the potable water angle, especially if your readings are higher than their "official limits" of the moment. Depending on the political climate in your jurisdiction, they may take an interest in China-trade-bashing (or not), but I would think you have a better chance with water-quality arguments than with global trade pattern arguments when dealing with "the authorities".

      Sometimes people in your situation get results by talking to msm – depends how much of your life's energy you want to put into it, I guess.

    If you want it investigated further, you should contact STATE-level authorities (not federal people). I had some high readings on some porcelain tiles and I contacted my state's Department of Health. It took a few emails before I reached a person in the radiological safety part of it (try googling your state's name and radiological safety/ dept. of health, etc.). I think the man who initially responded was mainly responsible for radon testing, but he forwarded my email to a women who used to be part of the state's Dept. of Health, but is now part of the state's Dept. of Homeland Security (again, don't bother with federal-level people). She sent me an email offering to come test them within a few days.

    She said that they do things like this periodically. She is often called in to test metals at scrap yards. She even said that a few people who had purchased Japanese cars asked her to test them (and I think in a few cases somewhat elevated readings may have been found). Anyway, if the readings on your containers are high enough, their device might be able to identify the isotope.

    These are the people you need to contact, though, again, it might take several emails before you hit upon the right person (many of the emails I initially tried were "dead" and got bounced back to me), but eventually I found an appropriate person and they responded very quickly after that.

    Just spoke about water containers with Radiological Health Div. Chief re: water containers. He said if the vessels are measuring higher than background Gamma, and about 5X background (air) levels of Beta, "it's definitely of concern." He's going to have the Chief of Radiological Materials (testing) contact me.

    He said while I didn't measure Alpha (possible uranium) the daughter products could emit the Gamma and/or Beta radiation.

    Am assuming someone is going to come and test the water vessels soon.

    Interestingly, he told me in the 1920's and 1930's clay water pots were made using radium or uranium. He said the idea was to have it leach into the water. This was at the time thought to promote good health.

    useful posts.. my posit on nuclear pollution both isotopic and non isotopic is supported here..

    his findings are mainly beta.. as i supposed.. he has a better gieger though!

    doing car wipes picks up pb 214 and other metals possibly some electromagnetic issue.. the readings from this gieger guy may not be from the rainwater…

      Thanks, ChasAha. I am really concerned about the pollen here in Seattle too. We live in a heavily forested area and the pollen fallout has been really heavy the past couple of weeks.

      I wrote about this earlier today on the "Possible Fukushima-Related Anomalies" thread. Our local park has a basketball court FILLED with tons of pollen that remained after the rain puddles evaporated. I can't help but wonder if it has radiation in it…our kids love playing basketball there.

      Who to contact to see if they can test the pollen there? And we should also contact the City to suggest they wash the court, if nothing else, to help save kids who have allergies to pollen needless suffering. But first, I'd love to get that pollen tested. Any ideas?

    My Geiger Counter detections in the Southern Hemisphere have been helpful in getting some publicity on the seriousness of the situation at Fukushima. A New Zealand radio station GreenplanetFM aired an interview with me.

    The show has been to air and is now available as a podcast for listening on line, or for download. The podcast link is at the top of the page, and the interview starts after a bit of an introduction on synchronicity.

    Because it is on a radio station it may carry more weight when trying to convince friends and relatives. It has with mine. So if you can use it as a resource please do. In the Interview I point people to enenews, Fairewinds, Dr Busby and Dr Caldicott.

    righty oh!! rad forum rant!!

    i have mentioned some issues with the uk authorities and certain private individual/s that are data mining me in a not very subtle manner… all posted earlier..

    update.. my phone currently seems to be using alot of data and i recieved a used up your allownce notice on friday.. odd as i have deleted alot of widgets for security/battery saving reasons.. i only check my emails on the computer to check what "they " have been looking at.. so i called vodaphone once again and got an indian lady who explained that there is an ongoing investigation.. my jaw dropped! but i played it cool and flirted with her a bit then she told me that i would have to wait 2 days to get a reply as the department that is dealing with it works only weekday office hours..

    do the police did start an investigation into the hacking of my phone by persons known! :)

    but the investigation is on me!! :( bollocks!
