Small amounts of radiation thought to come from Japan's crisis-stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant have been detected across Europe. Britain's Health Protection Agency (HPA) said ‘the minutest’ levels of radioactive iodine had been detected, on 29 March 2011, at its air monitoring stations in Oxfordshire and Glasgow over the past nine days. According to EU Observer, HPA stressed that the levels were too low to cause any risk to human health, peaking at 300 micro-becquerels per cubic metre but averaging a much lower 11 micro-becquerels over the nine-day period. |
