Title: RadNet
Source: US EPA
h/t Fukushima Diary
- Uranium-238 in 2011: 0.000215 picocuries per square meter (pCi/m3)
- Uranium-238 in 2010: 4 attocuries per square meter (aCi/m3)
The conversion factor is 1 picorcurie = 1,000,000 attocuries
This equals 215 aCi/m3 in 2011 compared to 4 aCi/m3 in 2010, a 53-fold increase.
The EPA’s ‘risk range concentrations‘* begin at 510 aCi/m3.
*EPA has calculated target risk benchmark concentrations for most combinations of RadNet media (air, water, milk, and precipitation) and radionuclides or radiation types. These risk concentrations reflect EPA’s process for determining the level of contamination considered “safe or acceptable”, consistent with the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) at 40 CFR 300.430(e)(2)(i)(A)(2).

So, how in the heck do we get the EPA to start updating their outdated information about low dose radiation? They think it's just fine. And, why always the focus on cancer, which is the least likely of the illnesses caused by radiation exposure. Heart disease, especially muscle contraction abnormalities, pancreatic issues such as diabetes, hormone disruptions, especially reproductive, but, not limited to that, brain damage, immune syndromes, abnormal growth and genetic mutations…. . We've got to find a way to support the researchers that are finding these causal links and help them get their studies widely read and peer reviewed.

It is possible to change yourself and teach others. Eventually the law will change as people become more aware. Believe it or not, we are evolving.
