<P>Monday, EPA released its latest results that included the first results for
drinking water. Drinking water samples from two locations, Boise and Richland,
Wash., showed trace amounts of Iodine-131 — about 0.2 picocuries per liter in
each case.</P>
<P>The EPA explained that an infant would have to drink almost 7,000 liters of
this water to receive a radiation dose equivalent to a day’s worth of the
natural background radiation exposure we experience continuously from natural
sources of radioactivity in our environment.</P>
<P>Earlier precipitation samples collected by EPA have shown trace amounts of
radioactivity, so EPA has expected to find results such as these in some
drinking water samples. Similar findings are to be expected in the coming
weeks, officials said.</P>
<P>In addition, results of EPA’s precipitation sampling and air filter
analyses continue to detect very low levels of radioactive material consistent
with estimated releases from the damaged nuclear reactors. Federal experts
said the findings pose no public health risk. (Idaho Free Press, 4-5-2011)</P>
<P><FONT color=#ff0000>No need to worry. The "federal experts" tell me
so. Wait till it gets in Alaskan Salmon. Anyone going to eat
iodized "Copper River Salmon"? Iodine 131 only has a half-life of 8
days. How about Cesium 137? It only has a half life of 28 years
and has to undergo 10 to 12 half lives to get out of the system. How
about Plutonium? It has a half life of 28,000 years. And they are
dumping thousands of gallons of this radioactive water into the Pacific
Ocean. Don't worry. It will dilute. LOL. </FONT></P>
