💧 Cleanup Progress Check: Invictus Energy Site When contamination is discovered, the priority is control, safety, and protection. At the Invictus Energy site, EPA crews have removed over 250,000 gallons of contaminated water, oil, and sludge while stabilizing leaking tanks and preparing for next cleanup steps. Work is transitioning toward on-site treatment solutions — a process that requires coordination, careful planning, and oversight to protect the surrounding community. Cleanup work isn’t instant, but progress continues. 🔗 Community partners, including Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, provided on-site coverages.

🚰 Water main breaks happen — and cold snaps can make them more likely by stressing and freezing pipes. If a water main break happens, follow guidance from your local utility, which leads response efforts (boil-water notices, flushing instructions), and avoid flooded areas. 💧 🛠️ Check out EPA’s tips for staying safe if service is disrupted: epa.gov/ground-water-and-dri…

Did you know that the only RadNet air monitoring station in the Caribbean is operated by EPA in Guaynabo Puerto Rico? ☢️ It operates 24/7, and provides near-real time measurements of ambient gamma radiation that are publicly accessible on epa.gov/RadNet 🧪 The filters on RadNet monitor system capture particles from the air (airborne particulates). The RadNet operators collect the filters and send them to EPA’s National Analytical Radiation Environmental Laboratory (NAREL) for screening. Access the results via epa.gov/RadNet 🧩It is one of 140 in the Unites States Find out more about the EPA's Nationwide Environmental Radiation Monitoring Program here: epa.gov/radnet #RadNet #AirQuality #EPA #Caribbean #PuertoRico #USVI #VirginIslands

ICYMI: We're installing monitors as part of a special study with @NYSDEC These monitors measure particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers, known as PM2.5, which comes from vehicle emissions and industrial processes, posing serious health risks such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The EPA studies PM2.5 to monitor air quality, ensure compliance with health standards, and develop effective pollution control strategies. In this project, we set up seven separate samplers to ensure we gather accurate data. Collocation studies, like this one, are vital. They help us verify that our monitoring equipment gives consistent and accurate results by comparing how multiple instruments perform in the same environment. This is crucial for ensuring we effectively track air quality and protect public health! Stay tuned for more updates! 🌱🔍
