Can we observe air dose rates in the living environment in real time?

By using methods of large scale environmental monitoring and data processing we measure air-dose rates continuously and provide information on air dose rates in residential areas in near real time.

Air dose rates measurements in Fukushima by route buses

Fig.1 Air dose rates measurements in Fukushima by route buses

We provide measurement results on maps and visualizes their variation in near real time, using air dose rates measured by route buses in cooperation with Fukushima Prefecture and Kyoto University as well as car-borne survey and airborne monitoring.
