Understanding the "Last 24 Hours" chart
The title "Dose Rate": Indicates the last current value readOn the y-axis: the scale provides the dose values for the last 24 hours (µSv / hr). On the abscissa: the scale indicates the space time by 30 minutes of the last 24 hours"Average, Mean" indicates the average of the doses received during the last 24 hours"Min" is the minimum dose over the last 24 hours"Max" is the maximum dose over the last 24 hours.
An average dose rate of 0.13 µSv / h corresponds to an average level of exposure to natural radioactivity of 1.14 mSv / year. (1 mSv = 1 000 µSv = 1 000 000 nSv).
This corresponds to the natural radioactive background radiation for the Carlsbourg station.

Health impact
Many of the parameters measured by Model SMOGGIE/RAD MONITOR can have a negative health impact, ranging from simple allergies to various cancers. Therefore the device gathers valuable data on the quality of our environment.
Particulate matter PM2.5 (SENSORS) refers to small particles with a diameter of up to 2.5 microns. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs , causing allergies, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases
Monitoring
The data for this graph is obtained using a geiger counter connected to a PC. The counter is manufactured by Black Cat Systems, Model GM45.
Radiation Monitor commissioned 1 Nov 2011.
Calibration
The GM45 probe was recalibrated July 2022 according to the Gamma-Scout. This is tested in an authorized institute by the state. Each unit is supplied with a certificate stating its serial number.
