  • The database aggregates environmental monitoring data such as air dose rates and radioactivity concentrations on the ground surface, in soil, seawater, marine sediments, river water, river sediments, groundwater and food for Fukushima and neighboring prefectures. Note that as JAEA updates the database at periodic intervals, data value difference might occur between values in the database and those published by original organizations, for instance, when an organization revises its data subsequent to its aggregation and registration in the JAEA database.
