Since last March, you can find more than 5,000 radioactivity measurement stations on Windy.com. This is mainly thanks to the resources of EURDEP, and SaveEcoBot.
Before you start monitoring radiation stations, we recommend you check out this article on what radioactivity exposure is still safe and what is not.
You can also see on the map the significant deviation from other values at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where readings commonly reach values between 4000 and 6000. Such values are common at this site.
