<div><font size="2">I wonder about the legitimacy of the so-called safety
standard itself. Is it like other safety standards about other
substances of the past which have been found to be too conservative? In
addition, what may be safe for the average members (within 1 standard deviation
of the mean) of the population, might not be safe for those that are more
susceptible than the average members.</font></div>

<div>The Environmental Protection Agency said a March 25 sample of milk
produced in the Spokane, Wash., area contained a 0.8 pico curies per
literlevel of iodine-131, which it said was less than one five-thousandth of
the safety safety guideline set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. . .
. . An EPA spokesman said that while the agency isn't certain that the
iodine-131 found in the sampled milk came from Fukushima, its discovery is
"consistent with" what the agency knows has been released so far from the
damaged nuclear reactors there. (Wall Street Journal article dated March 31,
