Please take a look at these highlights from a warning issued by CIIRAD, a French research body on radioactivity.
Seriously. I'm still astounded. Everyone needs to see this:
"The risks associated with iodine-131 contamination in Europe are no longer “negligible,” according to CRIIRAD, a French research body on radioactivity.
The NGO is advising pregnant women and infants against “risky behaviour,” such as consuming fresh milk or vegetables with large leaves." Then.........a few paragraphs later in the same article...
"Data for the west coast of the United States, which received the Fukushima radioactive fallout 6-10 days before France, reveals that levels of radioactive iodine-131 concentration are 8-10 times higher there, the institute says." CIIRAD issued their warning almost a month ago. Can you imagine how bad things are now--as the radiation has continued
leaking and accumulating in EVERYTHING.
Bottom line--the Europeans got a warning, we GOT nothing. Our media reports more on cranes falling on people than they do on
Fukushima. And, according to the CIIRAD warnings--THE RADIOACTIVE IODINE-131 LEVELS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE 8-10 TIMES
HIGHER THAN IN EUROPE.
I get so angry when I post this stuff...but people need to see it.
