Water, soil and food: radioactivity under control but monitoring is not homogeneous. 

ISIN publishes the report "The surveillance of environmental radioactivity in Italy".

For the first time, evaluations and first aggregations of data collected by ARPA APPA and ISIN up to 2019 on radon exposure in homes are also reported.

The publication represents a summary of the radiometric measurements carried out in 2018 as part of the national environmental radioactivity surveillance network - RESORAD, consisting of the Regional Agencies and the Autonomous Provinces for the Protection of the Environment (ARPA / APPA) and the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institutes. The network aims to monitor the presence of radioactivity in the environment and in food and to report, even with an alarm function, the presence of any anomalous radioactivity values.
