Just six days after the disastrous meltdowns struck four reactors at Fukushima on March 11, scientists detected the plume of toxic fallout had arrived over American shores.
Subsequent measurements by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found levels of radiation in air, water, and milk hundreds of times above normal across the U.S.
The highest detected levels of Iodine-131 in precipitation in the U.S. were as follows (normal is about 2 picocuries I-131 per liter of water): Boise, ID (390); Kansas City (200); Salt Lake City (190); Jacksonville, FL (150); Olympia, WA (125); and Boston, MA (92).

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not believable.
Shorly after the disaster government was touting its safe readings of radiation on the West Coast. You could go on line and get readings. Radiation was found in milk in Washington state and all the public information on radiation readings stopped.
“”Based on our continuing research, the actual death count here may be as high as 18,000, with influenza and pneumonia, which were up five-fold in the period in question as a cause of death.”
So if flu increases, is it because of Japanese radiation?
So is this tripe from a blog, pr newswire, or an actual medical journal? Make up your mind.
14,000 people die every day just from Global Warming alone. [/s]
Thank you for posting this.
!4,000 deaths in 14 weeks, they have names?
This reminds me of the Shill I saw the other day on the PBS News Hour who said that hundreds of thousands of people were suffering due to powerplant pollution (kids w/asthma, people unable to work, etc). Of course, no one challenged any of these statements.
Hey, check it out! Some grist for Know-it-all Nadine’s mill! She’s bound to post something on this for DUFU.
The Canadians know they are basically downwind from Fukushima.

It takes about 100,000 glasses of water to fill a swimming pool. If you randomly pushed 100 people into that pool, ten would drown. Therefore, the fatality rate of 100,000 gallons of water is 10%. Using linear projections, the fatality rate from 1 glass of water would be 1 in a million (10% of 1/100,000). Since the average person drinks a thousand glasses of water per year, and there are 300 million people in the US, 300,000 people in the US die each year from drinking water (300 million times 1000 divided by 1 million).
A few years ago, 15000 elderly were said to have died in France because their caregivers all went on vacation during a heat wave.

How soon before this becomes “conventional wisdom”. Seem to happen pretty fast for environmental nonsense.
So how many people are dying every year from the ever increasing plumes of pollution hitting the US from China?
