In the previous graphic are represented, for example, K40 concentration measured in vegetables and fruit
samples. The highest index of percentage was noticed in
sea sediments. ( 20%)

• oranges
• olives
• apricots
• plum
In the following graphic is reported the monthly mean evolution
of an environmental range.
Measured in the course of 2013 by the two unmovable units of
control (ARPAB) of continuous and remote monitoring, installed
in the ITREC adjacent area of Trisaia, in Rotondella.
It is presented that for technical problems the “Rotondella2”
ECU didn’t provide data continouos from May to September, in
the current year.
Survey conducted on samples to measure the radionuclides and
“spett gamma” in Basilicata.
