If somebody assigned you to design a map that&#x27;s extremely difficult to interpret, you probably wouldn&#x27;t be clever enough to come up with this.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ibb.co&#x2F;TLDxBZF" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ibb.co&#x2F;TLDxBZF</a>

It wasn&#x27;t at all clear where the data comes from, but after a little digging it looks like volunteers are driving around with homemade devices collecting data.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bgeigiezen.safecast.jp&#x2F;store-2&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bgeigiezen.safecast.jp&#x2F;store-2&#x2F;</a><p>Looks like they might have had apps too, but they have been pulled from the App Store and Play Store?

Can the sensors that provide the data be trusted?<p>Or could anyone in control of the network inject fake sensor data?

Interesting that Three Mile Island is not any higher than background levels. I would have expected even a minor bump. I suppose 45 years is a long time.

what a misleading notation on the map. Also not clear when blue is radiation or bad air quality. Also, yellow is higher than red..
