EPA Finds Radiation In Milk Above Maximum and Drinking Water in 13 US Cities

Truthfully I've been a bit hesitant to post this stuff. Maybe because I just don't want to believe it? Maybe I just don't want people to worry? I'm not sure. But, after looking through a lot of the info here and on a few other sites. Maybe it's time to really start pay more attention to this.
The fact is. Radiation is in fact spread from Japan. I'm not talking just the United States. But all over the place. As it continues to spread the levels are becoming much higher. Now I'm not sure if it's causing people to get sick yet or not. I will post a couple of videos here one showing the levels in the rain itself. Be sure to go through the links here yourself. Don't take my word for it.
This guy is doing a great job keeping up with it all. I will post more myself as I get more information on this.

Radiation Detected In Drinking Water In 13 More US Cities, Cesium-137 In Vermont Milk - Jeff McMahon - The Ingenuity of the Commons - Forbes

http://blogs.forbes.com/jeffmcmahon/2011/04/09/radiation-detected-in-drinking-water-in-13-more-us-cities-cesium-137-in-vermont-milk
Radiation from Japan has been detected in drinking water in 13 more American cities, and cesium-137 has been found in American milk—in Montpelier, Vermont—for the first time since the Japan nuclear disaster began, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency late Friday.
Milk samples from Phoenix and Los Angeles contained iodine-131 at levels roughly equal to the maximum contaminant level permitted by EPA, the data shows. The Phoenix sample contained 3.2 picoCuries per liter of iodine-131. The Los Angeles sample contained 2.9. The EPA maximum contaminant level is 3.0, but this is a conservative standard designed to minimize exposure over a lifetime, so EPA does not consider these levels to pose a health threat.
The cesium-137 found in milk in Vermont is the first cesium detected in milk since the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear accident occurred last month. The sample contained 1.9 picoCuries per liter of cesium-137, which falls under the same 3.0 standard.
Radioactive isotopes accumulate in milk after they spread through the atmosphere, fall to earth in rain or dust, and settle on vegetation, where they are ingested by grazing cattle. Iodine-131 is known to accumulate in the thyroid gland, where it can cause cancer and other thyroid diseases. Cesium-137 accumulates in the body’s soft tissues, where it increases risk of cancer, according to EPA.

Drinking Water

Radioactive Iodine-131 was found in drinking water samples from 13 cities. Those cities are listed below, with the amount of Iodine-131 in picocuries per liter. The EPA’s maximum contaminant level for Iodine-131 in drinking water is 3 picocuries per liter.

• Oak Ridge, TN collected 3/28: 0.63
• Oak Ridge, TN collected at three sites 3/29: 0.28, 0.20, 0.18
• Chatanooga, TN collected 3/28: 1.6
• Helena, MT collected 3/28: 0.18
• Columbia, PA collected 3/29: 0.20
• Cincinatti, OH collected 3/28: 0.13
• Pittsburgh, PA collected 3/28: 0.36
• East Liverpool, OH collected 3/30: 0.42

Here is the French Forecast model as of March 30, 2011 for Cesium 137 ...

http://www.irsn.fr/FR/popup/Pages/irsn-meteo-france_30mars.aspx

FIRST.. this is NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!

in my honest opinion,this is NOT LETHAL.. however the levels are "mid" and "low" range at surface, 2500m, and 5000m ... for gasses NOT detectable by radiation detectors.

here are the links.. you decide for yourself.



Surface levels and high level clouds of Cesium 137, Iodine 131, and Xenon 133, have reached the United States .. showing up in 13 different states rain water according to fox news..

Now this is undeniable, and proved via results shown in the video and linked below.

Now the debate becomes "how much is bad".. .the answer.. lets just say there are NO GOOD AMOUNTS of Cesium, iodine-131, or Xenon - 133


Here is a list of the radioactive particles in the air.

More U.S. states find traces of radiation from Japan

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/US/03/23/colorado.oregon.radiation

Since Japan's nuclear crisis, more RadNet radiation monitors like this one have been deployed in areas in the west coast.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Colorado and Oregon report trace levels of radioactive particles
• Washington, California and Hawaii have also found small amounts
• The levels detected so far aren't harmful to human health, experts say

(CNN) -- Colorado and Oregon have joined several other Western states in reporting trace amounts of radioactive particles that have likely drifted about 5,000 miles from a quake and tsunami-damaged nuclear power plant in Japan, officials say.
But, on a portion of its website dedicated to tracking such radiation, the Environmental Protection Agency noted Wednesday that these and other readings "show typical fluctuation in background radiation levels" and -- thus far -- "are far below levels of concern."
Sampling from a monitor in Colorado -- part of a national network of stations on the lookout for radioactivity -- detected miniscule amounts of iodine-131, a radioactive form of iodine, the state's public health and environmental department said Wednesday in a press release.
On the same day in Portland, Oregon, tiny quantities of iodine-131 were also detected by an Environmental Protection Agency air monitor, Oregon public health officials said.

Small amounts of radioactive material were detected Wednesday, too, in Hawaii -- just as they had a day earlier, according to the EPA. But while they were above the historical and background norm, the levels weren't considered harmful to human health.
Washington and California previously reported low levels of radioactive isotopes that likely came from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which has been releasing radioactive particles into the air since its cooling and other systems were damaged by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and massive tsunami on March 11. Efforts continued Thursday to cool down the spent nuclear fuel rods, prevent a further meltdown of the plant's six reactor cores and curb the release of additional radioactive material.

Breach suspected at troubled Japanese power plant

Image via Wikipediahttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_japan_earthquake
TOKYO – Two weeks after an earthquake and tsunami triggered a crisis at a nuclear plant, the facility is still not under control, and the government said Friday there is a suspected breach at a reactor. That means radioactive contamination at the plant is more serious than once thought.
Japanese leaders defended their decision not to evacuate people from a wider area around the plant, insisting they are safe if they stay indoors. But officials also said residents may want to voluntarily move to areas with better facilities, since supplies in the tsunami-devastated region are running short.
The escalation in the nuclear plant crisis came as the death toll from the quake and tsunami passed the grim milestone of 10,000 on Friday. Across the battered northeast coast, hundreds of thousands of people whose homes were destroyed still have no power, no hot meals and, in many cases, no showers for 14 days.
The uncertain nuclear situation halted work at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex, where authorities have been scrambling to stop the overheated facility from leaking dangerous radiation. Low levels of radiation have been seeping out since the March 11 quake and tsunami knocked out the plant's cooling system, but a breach could mean a much larger release of contaminants. The most likely consequence would be contamination of the groundwater.
