OverviewAir activity monitoring and sampling are complementary methods used to detect, quantify and investigate radioactive contamination in ambient air. These methods support environmental surveillance, workplace monitoring and regulatory compliance by characterizing airborne radionuclide concentrations and their temporal variations.
Methods- Air activity monitoring: continuous or near-continuous detection of airborne radioactivity to identify trends and acute events
- Air sampling: discrete collection of air (filters, cartridges) for laboratory analysis and radionuclide identification
