Radiation safety: What you should knowYou might be a little freaked out about 11,500 tons of radioactive water being dumped into the Pacific Ocean in Japan, where workers are still scrambling to stabilize an earthquake-crippled nuclear power plant called Fukushima Daiichi. In fact, the words "radiation" and "nuclear" give many people the creeps. And that's partly because these are concepts that you aren't too familiar with; take a minute to learn the basics here. When you get down to the actual risks involved in the Japan nuclear disaster, things aren't so bad for the general public. It's true that radioactive particles from a nuclear disaster like this do get into the food supply, but so far there's no indication that there's cause for alarm. The particles emitted from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant bind to dust, which is how they travel through the air and eventually fall on the ground, according to CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. When cows eat contaminated grass, those particles can get into milk. Large surfaces of leafy veggies are at risk because they present a greater surface area for the particles to fall on; that's why several green vegetables can no longer be exported from certain areas near the nuclear power plant. Still, levels detected so far pose little risk, Gupta said. And so far there is no contamination of beef in Japan, the government said Friday. Radioactive particles disperse the farther they travel, so by the time they get to the United States from Japan they are not concentrated enough to pose any health risk. The state of Washington and California have both reported low levels of radioactivity in milk; however, this milk is safe to consume, experts say. And how about what that water might do to fish? If you're still craving sushi, it seems that, unlike after the Gulf oil disaster, there isn't as much concern about the safety of fish from Japan, Eatocracy reports. Fishing in the prefectures near to the nuclear plant - Fukushima, Miyagi and Iwate - has been suspended since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, which makes it less likely that tainted fish will reach the market. But there is justified concern for the health of the Japanese workers who are struggling to control Fukushima Daiichi, and getting exposure to doses of radiation far higher than the general public. While they are probably not experiencing any health effects right now, their long-term health should be monitored, experts say. |

Why wont the government and the mainstream media report the actual levels of radiation in our food and environment.? The only thing they seem concerned about is that we will stop buying milk!
Aug29Jean Weiss BTW, in Aspen I attended and onopssred theNutritarian Festival for Nutritional Research whereDr Joel Fuhrman lectured he too promotes the sameprotocol ~ plant-based whole-food lifestyle to PREVENTa heart attack it feels great that I can be a part of gettingthe message out there and encourage people to empowerthemselves to be the change they want to see in the world!I just opened a raw vegan cafe on Long Island calledLive Island Cafe ! 😉
And what about the plume of radioactivity working its way across the Pacific, soon to arrive on the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California? Why isn't it a matter of concern if milk or other food is contaminated? Of course, we need to be very concerned because all it takes is one particle of radioactive material to lodge in one of our organs to kill us. And why aren't the fish that we eat from the Pacific being monitored for radioactive levels? It's a BIG FAT LIE that the radioactivity is being harmlessly dispersed in the ocean. It concentrates in the fish. It isn't safe to eat the fish from the Pacific. The fish go everywhere, get eaten by bigger fish that travel even further, get eaten by dolphins and whales that travel the world. It is the height of irresponsibility to tell people that there's no cause for alarm. OF COURSE THERE IS CAUSE FOR ALARM. What is this, some 1984 Orwellian doublespeak? As long as authorities like Gupta and other people in our government fail to monitor radioactivity, we are clueless. The truth is being hidden from us, as though we were children, by adults who are telling us that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy are real.
Informative post about radiation safety
thanks for sharing:)
I am really enjoying the design and layout of one's web site. It is a really easy around the eyes which tends to make it much much more pleasant for me to come here and visit much more often. Did you hire out a designer to produce your theme? Excellent function! 6000mahè¡Œå‹•é›»æº http://www.powerbankdigital.com
I constantly emailed this web site post page Radiation safety: What you should know – The Chart – CNN.com Blogs to all my associates, as if like to read it after that my friends will too. Oakleys http://mountainwoodlands.org/blog/iss.asp
