maybe some of that green harvest money could be used to test the fish? - nah that would be rational and serving the people.....

All that Yale article says is that it's unknown what the effect will be.
And basing your opinion on one person's blog is not a good idea. It could be in his best interest to make the situation seem worse than it is, good for readership and donations. Sure, go buy a geiger counter if you don't believe the scientists.

but remember not to test your fish on certain vintage glazed ceramics, near your glow in the dark watch, around your color enhanced gemstones, near your fluorescent light tubes, on an airplane, or with bananas (these are just some of the radio active things most of us may live with daily), lest you measure the radio activity of many items that are around us daily emitting small doses of radioactivity...

or your cesium 137 - grin
All caesium-137 existing today is unique in that it is totally anthropogenic (man-made). Unlike most other radioisotopes, caesium-137 is not produced from its non-radioactive isotope but as a byproduct of nuclear fission,[7] meaning that until now, it has not occurred on Earth for billions of years. By observing the characteristic gamma rays emitted by this isotope, it is possible to determine whether the contents of a given sealed container were made before or after the advent of atomic bomb. As of April 2011, it was also being found after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disasters in Japan. In July 2011, meat from 11 cows shipped to Tokyo from Fukushima prefecture was found to have 3 to 6 times the legal limit of 500 becquerels per kilogram of radioactive caesium.[6] The mean contamination of caesium-137 in Germany following the Chernobyl disaster was 2000 to 4000 Bq/m2. This corresponds to a contamination of 1 mg/km2 of caesium-137, totaling about 500 grams deposited over all of Germany. ( 28 or so grams to the us ounce) - doesnt take much..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137...nvironment |
