and Indoor Environments
National Laboratory
The Radiation and Indoor Environments National Laboratory
is an Environmental Protection Agency laboratory dedicated
to protecting the public and the environment by minimizing
exposure to radiation and indoor air pollution through environmental
measurements, applied technologies, and education.
RIENL provides innovative technology and services through
three centers:
RIENL specializes in the development, demonstration, and employment
of technologies in field applications. For example, RIENL's
technical staff operate state-of-the-art fixed and mobile
laboratories, monitoring vehicles, and an extensive collection
of calibrated field instrumentation to support the cleanup
of contaminated sites. RIENL also conducts studies in radiation-contaminated
areas and performs site-specific computer modeling and dose
assessments.
Environmental
Restoration,
Monitoring, and Emergency Response
RIENL provides scientific and technical leadership to EPA
headquarters and regional programs, federal agencies, state
and local governments, and private industries. RIENL manages
multi-disciplinary teams with broad ranges of expertise in
health physics, physical sciences, chemistry, environmental
sciences, engineering, and administrative support. The cooperative
interaction between our environmental specialists in the field
and scientists in the laboratory assures thorough management
from sample collection through analysis and data interpretation.
Indoor
Environments
Fundamental to RIENL's mission is a commitment to develop
and apply innovative, efficient, effective, and practical
solutions to ensure public health and environmental quality.
