'Very low levels of radioactive iodine-131 have been detected throughout Europe, but the particles are not believed to pose a public health risk, the U.N.nuclear agency said on Friday.
Professor Malcolm Sperrin, director of medical physics at Britain's Royal Berkshire Hospital, said any link with Fukushima was extremely unlikely.
It is far more likely that the iodine may be as a result of excretion by patients undergoing medical treatment. 'Whilst such patients are carefully controlled, some release of iodine into the environment may be inevitable but would certainly be well below any limits where health detriment would even begin to be an issue for concern," he said.'
NOTE: What mystery? Fukushima continues to spew it's deadly, radioactive legacy around the entire northern hemisphere for more than 240 days, how could we expect it to be otherwise? Radioactive particles do not diminish in STRENGTH with distances, only the number of particles diminish. The cycle continues around and around the world, is accumulative and has changed the lives of everyone living in the Northern hemisphere for many, many, many generations to come.
