Abstract
Radioactiviteitsmetingen aan milieu- en voedselmonsters
lieten voor 2004 hetzelfde beeld zien als in voorgaande jaren. Het Euratom
Verdrag uit 1957 verplicht Nederland om de radioactiviteit in het milieu te
meten. In 2000 is deze meetverplichting in een nieuwe Europese aanbeveling
aangescherpt. Er dient nu gemeten te worden aan luchtstof, neerslag,
oppervlaktewater, zeewater, drinkwater en voedsel. In vergelijking met de
aanbevelingen uit 2000 schiet het Nederlandse meetprogramma op een aantal
punten tekort. Er worden geen metingen verricht aan melk en aan een
representatief voedselpakket.
Radioactivity measurements on environmental and food samples in 2004 gave a similar overall picture as in previous years. The Euratom Treaty of 1957 obliges the Dutch government to measure radioactivity in the environment. This obligation was accentuated in a new European recommendation in 2000. Measurements should be carried out on airborne particles, deposition, surface water, seawater, drinking water and food. The Dutch monitoring program does not fully comply with this recommendation. Measurements are not carried out on milk and on a representative mixed diet.
