Air Sampling Results After 4/18
I wanted to find out if someone from the BRAWM team could let us know when the next batch of air sampling results will be posted. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Update posted
Updated results have now been posted for both air and tap water. We continue to see decreases in the air concentration and no evidence of fission products in the tap water.

As mentioned on the main
As mentioned on the main page (under results log), our air sampling results will appear less frequently, as the fallout has decayed away to less than our minimum detectable activity. Because of the extremely low levels, we need to measure the samples for a longer time in order to see any results.

Yes, but it's been a full week...and not just any week. It happens to be a week during which Eurad is suggesting we got a rather large dose.

Really? It seems that they say that weekly... If you have a credible source, I would love to see it (anything but dutchinese)

Google Eurad and look at the plume animations for dry deposition (there's enough Engligh translation there). Last week was the first week where levels here were projected to be 1/100 of the original levels. I realize that there are many holes in Eurad's projections, and this is due to holes in hard data. When one university makes such a projection, I look to another university (UCB) to fill in the gaps so that I can get a better understanding of the situation. Of course I wish I could rely more on the EPA...

New plume on 4/24 and resulting air tests?
I just heard that there was QUITE a "bump" yesterday... that there was a new plume caused by the last 7.0 + earthquake and that it was significant enough to suggest a "stay indoors" warning by a website in the Pacific Northwest. I would very much like to see a test for the air during and following April 24, if possible.
do you have a source for the
do you have a source for the indoor warning?
Lag between collection and posting
Due to the fact that we have now moved from 24 hours per sample to 48 hours per sample for air of there will be roughly a 4 day lag before results from a particular day will be posted. We have done this because we are approaching the minimum detectable amount of activity and this will improve our sensitivity.
