Very low levels of radiation turned up in a sample of milk from Washington
state, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug
Administration said Wednesday, but federal officials assured consumers not
to worry.
The FDA said such findings were to be expected in the coming days because of
the nuclear crisis in Japan, and that the levels were expected to drop
relatively quickly.
Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex began leaking radiation
after it was damaged by a devastating earthquake and tsunami earlier this
month.
Results from a March 25 milk sample taken from Spokane, Wash., showed levels
of radioactive Iodine-131 that were still 5,000 times below levels of
concern set by the FDA, including levels set for infants and children.
"Radiation is all around us in our daily lives, and these findings are a
miniscule amount compared to what people experience every day," said
Patricia Hansen, senior scientist.at the FDA. "A person would be exposed to
low levels of radiation on a round-trip cross-country flight, watching
television, and even from construction materials."
EPA said it was increasing the level of nationwide monitoring of milk,
precipitation and drinking water.
Spokane, a city of 208,000 residents, is located more than 300 miles east of
the Pacific coast. Kim Papich, spokeswoman for the Spokane Regional Health
District, said the agency was aware of the EPA report and preparing to issue
a statement to residents.
"This is not a major health concern," Papich said.
The United States had already halted imports of dairy products and produce
from the affected area of Japan. Other foods imported from Japan, including
seafood, were still being sold to the public but screened first for
radiation.
Japanese foods make up less than 4 percent of all U.S. imports. The FDA has
said it expected no risk to the U.S. food supply from radiation. | d***o
