This data set shows the location of sampling points for the levels of radionuclides in ambient air. A high volume sampler (HVS) is situated in Bengħajsa and is used to monitor radionuclide levels in total air particulates. Gamma dose rate in monitored continuously in Bengħajsa, Attard, Xemxija and Għarb. Such monitoring is carried out according to the requirements arising from Commission Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom.

Soil samples are collected once a year from four points along Malta and Gozo. Samples are sent to an accredited Laboratory for radionuclide analysis. Such monitoring is carried out according to the requirements arising from Commission Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom.

Water samples are collected from three points along Malta and Gozo on a quarterly basis. Samples are sent to an accredited Laboratory for radionuclide analysis. Such monitoring is carried out according to the requirements arising from Commission Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom.
