Just about every neighboring prefecture to Tokyo (even Kanagawa) has had contaminated vegetation so I would think that that means there is radioactive dust flying around. They've even detected it in New England.

This is because the risk of radiation induced thyroid carcinoma in this group is very low while, on the other hand, the risk of side effects increases with age.<br /><br />If you are not in danger of being exposed to large amounts of I-131, you should not be taking KI, period.

On of the link above does not work, but I have similar data and agree with you. <br /><br />So our air is ok, but the next step will be our water and food that we should be a little cautious about. Though we are below the danger levels, I am being a little cautious for my little one. Here is a link for Tokyo Tap water. My main concern is Cesium 137, but as you can see, all levels are on a down trend. <br /><br />Enjoy and have a great Sunday.<br /><br />http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/emergency/monitoring.tokyo-eiken.go.jp/monitoring/w-past_data.htmlMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11940382272922768914noreply@blogger.com
