NSA Naples Collecting Indoor Radon Level Detectors NSA Naples is currently collecting indoor radon gas detectors as part of an ongoing Navywide program, with Naples as the first Navy installation in Europe to conduct a comprehensive study on its current facilities. Radon detectors, called alpha-track detectors, are being collected in Navy facilities at Capodichino, Support Site, Gaeta, Carney Park, and Navy-managed buildings at JFC (Lago Patria). The detectors have been placed in all basements and ground level indoor spaces inhabited at least four hours daily over the last year. Navy facilities in Naples were last tested in 1991-1992; however, the base infrastructure has since changed necessitating completion of a new test. For U.S. Environmental Protection Agency information on radon, go to www.epa.gov/radon. For more info, call the Environmental Office at DSN: 626-6706 or 081-568-6706.
