    Global atmospheric composition monitoring
    (Australian Nuclear and Science Organisation, 2014-02-03) Williams, AG; Chambers, SD
    ANSTO's radon measurements at Cape Grim in Southern Australia are contributing to a global effort to better understand the chemical makeup of our atmosphere and help protect our planet and its people. It's common knowledge that significant changes to the make-up of our atmosphere - from both natural and human-induced activities - have had a devastating impact on our planet with even greater environmental, social and economic problems projected in coming decades. Science is doing its part on a number of fronts, including a specialised agency of the United Nations that's providing an authoritative voice on the state and behaviour of the Earth's atmosphere with world class facilities like those run jointly by ANSTO, CSIRO and the Bureau of Meterology (BOM) in Cape Grim, Tasmania.
