Data Collection Tool | At each sampling site, an electric pump pulls air through a borosilicate glass microfiber filter and a TEDA-impregnated 20x40 mesh carbon cartridge. The sample media are exchanged weekly and delivered to the California Department of Public Health - Drinking Water and Radiation Laboratory for analysis. Each quarter, all glass paper filters collected for the period per site are combined and quantified by a high-purity germanium photo-detector. This process is specifically sensitive to long-lived radionuclides. |
