Description

Underground laboratories provide the low radioactive background environment necessary to cutting edge experiments in particle and astrparticle physics and other disciplines such as geology and biology, that can profit of their unique characteristics and reduced muon flux. The laboratories requires continuous monitoring of environmental parameters, spanning from temperature, humidity to radon content and particulate concentration and fall-out which could affect the installation and operations of experiments. I will briefly review the monitoring needed at underground laboratories with a special attention to cleanroom environment along with cleanliness protocol and logistics.
