<P>The Environmental Protection Agency reported this weekend that air monitors
in Boise have detected low levels of radioactive material from Japan’s Fukushima
nuclear plant, but the levels are far below public health concern. The agency in
a statement released Saturday says it found elevated levels of the radioactive
isotopes iodine-131, cesium-137 and cesium-134. Agency EPA scientists
routinely test precipitation samples from more than 30 sites in the U.S.<FONT

Boise had the highest levels of any city in the report, but weren’t sure why.

<P>Remember the statement above: ". . . but the levels are far below
public health concern." No need to worry, I think I'll go get
a mammogram for the hell of it. Anyone else game?</P>
