A Whole HEPA Trouble #2
Proof positive of the need for HEPA filter machines to clean out air impacted by Fukushima multiple meltdowns fallout. The aggregate measurement of the dust and debris of both the Honeywell and Kenmore Plasmawave HEPA filter air cleaners was shocking – 5.38 times normal. As we discuss in the upcoming post “Beta Watch,” these measurements, and indeed most all the measurements at Radiation Station – Santa Monica, are not impacted by so-called “natural” radon progeny being pulled out of the air by these breath-saving machines which suggests that there is an entirely new method of radioactive fallout from Fukushima impacting coastal zones of the United States and Canada, if not eventually all 44 nations on the Pacific Rim.
A Whole HEPA Trouble #1
After 42 days of air filtering at Radiation Station – Santa Monica, we did our periodic cleaning and testing of our Honeywell and Kenmore Plasmawave HEPA filter air cleaners. Taking into account that there was no hot rain and no radon progeny in that rain, this spot check was pretty high. According to a Nevada accident report obtained by EnviroReporter.com, a hazardous material incident’s tripwire is three times background for any subject media, or 300% of normal. This clearly exceeds that. The aggregate testing for the combined dust of the machines was even higher at 538% of normal.
Will SOPA Nuke the Internet?*
Don’t count on being able to access uncensored information about Fukushima, or anything else, if SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) or its Senate version PIPA (the Protect IP Act) becomes law. A crucial vote on SOPA is January 24 in Washington D.C. which will possibly change the Internet forever.
Seasons Readings
Home for the holidays in Michigan meant radiation readings in jets up to eight times normal and a jet stream-driven storm that was imbued with Fukushima meltdowns fallout coming in at a sizzling 650% of background. Fukushima fallout in the American Heartland also served up other radiological surprises, some of which were unexpectedly positive.
HOTTER Michigan Rain 12-30-11 Pt 2
Our second rain sampling on the second to last day of 2011 yielded the highest radiation readings EnviroReporter.com has ever taken in precipitation since the triple meltdowns and melt-throughs began at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex in Japan. This level of radiation in the rain was not natural or the result of radon progeny. This is the grim future of fallout over the Heartland of America.
HOT Michigan Rain 12/30/11 Pt 1
EnviroReporter.com heads home for the holidays and encounters its first jet stream-driven storm in the American Heartland of Southwest Michigan where the first storm sample comes in a whopping 561% of the previous background radiation test.
