[b]Ocean still suffering from Fukushima fallout

Continuing leaks and contaminated sediment keep radiation levels high.[/b]

[...]

New data presented at a conference held on 12–13 November at the University of Tokyo show that levels of radioactivity in the sea around the plant remain stable, rather than falling as expected. Researchers believe that run-off from rivers, as well as continued leaks from the plant, may be partially to blame. But contaminated sediment and marine organisms also seem to be involved.

[...]

The Fukushima disaster caused by far the largest discharge of radioactivity into the ocean ever seen. A new model presented by scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts estimates that 16.2 petabecquerels (1015 becquerels) of radioactive caesium leaked from the plant — roughly the same amount that went into the atmosphere.

[...] in the region of the ocean near the plant, levels of caesium-137 have remained fixed at around 1,000 becquerels, a relatively high level compared to the natural background. Similarly, levels of radioactive caesium in bottom-dwelling fish remain pretty much unchanged more than 18 months after the accident.

Researchers at the conference are convinced that something is preventing the radiation levels from dropping. “There must be a source,” says Scott Fowler, an oceanographer at Stony Brook University in New York.

In fact, a fresh analysis by oceanographer Jota Kanda at the Tokyo University of Marine Science [estimates] [b]the plant itself is leaking around 0.3 terabecquerels [0.3 trillion becquerels] per month [...][/b]

TOKYO —
The Environment Ministry has announced that it will recommend the public do not venture outside unless necessary on days on which fine particulate air pollution is high.
Particulate air pollution is believed to be coming from China to Japan. The smog has been dubbed PM2.5 in Japan. These particles, which are smaller than 2.5 micrometers in size, tend to penetrate into the lungs and the circulatory system. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that PM2.5 leads to high plaque deposits in arteries, causing vascular inflammation and a hardening of the arteries, which can lead to heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems.

Fuji TV reported Tuesday that the Environment Ministry says it is considering recommending people do not go outside unless necessary when the airborne density exceeds 35 micrograms per cubic liter. It will also recommend avoiding the use of ventilation while at home. Separate recommendations are to be drawn up for those with a history of heart and lung problems.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that fine particulate air pollution causes mortality from cardiopulmonary disease, mortality from cancer of the trachea, bronchus, and lung, and mortality from acute respiratory infections in children under 5 years of age. Researchers suggest that even short-term exposure at elevated concentrations could significantly contribute to heart disease.

yup.. blame it on China.. nice little scape goat yeah? nothing to do with irradiation in 5-10 years......

DOES THE TERM 'ÍNCINERATING DEBRIS' COME TO MIND?.....
