New automatic network for measuring radioactivity in the air in Switzerland
The new automatic network for monitoring airborne radioactivity operated by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) is operational. It replaces the old network, which was put in place after the Chernobyl accident and became obsolete. This network makes it possible to identify and quantify radionuclides in the air and to generate an alarm if set thresholds are exceeded.
