1: Those RAMDAN laboratories that possess portable aerosol samplers that can be operated periodically with a small air volume flow, take samples once a week. Other RAMDAN laboratories that own installed aerosol samplers that can be run continuously with a medium air volume flow, take samples every day.
2: sampling only in the counties of the laboratories
3: sampling only in the counties of the medium level laboratories
a: ash of samples accumulated quarterly from the counties of competence of the laboratories
b: ash of samples accumulated over half a year from the counties of competence of the laboratories
c: ash of water samples accumulated over half a year per sampling location
d: sampling by the laboratories, measurement by the NRIRR
e: ash of water samples accumulated yearly per county
GSP: gamma spectrometry with a semiconductor detector
