NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Could powerful radiation from those reactors in Japan be tainting the fish you’re eating here at home? While the government says no, some restaurant owners aren’t taking any chances. READ ENTIRE ARTICLEUS Gov’t May Raise Radiation Exposure Levels In Food, Drink, Soil
Washington - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering approval of a plan designed to dramatically increase permissible radiation contamination. Vigorously opposed by some agency experts. This critical debate is taking place entirely behind closed doors because this plan does not require public notice. Internal documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit last autumn show that, under the updated regulations , a single glass of water could give the equivalent of a lifetime’s permissible exposure. The new limits would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed. According to a National Academy of Sciences 2005 report, there are no safe doses of low-level radiation and no exposure threshold below which radiation can be proven to be harmless. “The health risks -- particularly the development of solid cancers in organs -- rise proportionally with exposure,” said Richard R. Monson, chair of the NAS committee responsible for the report and professor at Harvard’s School of Public Health.
