Radiological Monitoring in New Mexico

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2011-03-24 19:04

Thank you for your excellent work. I am from the S.F Bay Area and now live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have not been able to find who is doing radiological monitoring here in New Mexico and what the daily levels are. Can you give me a source? Is UC California's Los Alamos Lab monitoring this and making its results available to the public?
How can I find out the daily results for the various radioactive isotopes that may be found in New Mexico?(not just gross beta as some websites). Thank You.

Unfortunately there are very few groups doing careful radiological monitoring. We do not know of anyone doing measurements in New Mexico that are publicly available. Gross beta is probably the best you'll find for measurements near you.

With New Mexico being further east, I would expect levels there to be comparable or probably lower than what we measure in Berkeley.
