Cesium in pollen not viewed as health risk
By KAZUAKI NAGATA Staff writer
The Forestry Agency believes cedar pollen next spring contaminated by cesium fallout from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant will be well below the legal safety limit.
The exposure from inhaling cesium-contaminated cedar pollen circulating from Fukushima Prefecture will have a maximum radiation reading of 0.000132 microsievert per hour, the agency said, based on a recent calculation of fallout affecting cedar needles and leaves.
In June, the education and science ministry studied cedar leaves in the town of Kawamata, located about 45 km from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, and determined the cesium-134 and -137 levels ranged from 54,300 to 177,600 becquerels per kilogram.

Maybe they won’t need so much miracle-gro.
Poor Japanese. They can’t believe anything from their government over Fukushima since it’s now known they were lying like dogs about the radiation levels immediately after the Tsunami. The continental US has even had higher rad. levels since March.
I wouldn’t be within 300 miles of that place if I were living in Japan.
Breathe deep.
