Radioactive Cesium in Urine Of Children In Miyagi, Iwate, Chiba,
France's ACRO (Association pour le Contrôle de la Radioactivité de l'Ouest) released the result of the urine tests of children in Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Saitama Prefectures.
The the radioactive cesium levels in children in Tokyo, Kanagawa and Saitama were below detection levels, children in Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate and Chiba (Kashiwa City) were found with radioactive cesium in their urine
Most troubling were the results for children outside Fukushima with rather high levels of radioactive cesium. ACRO suspects that they may come from ingesting contaminated food.
Results show that urines are still contaminated almost one year after 3/11 and are contaminated in places located as far as Oshu (Iwate Pref.) about 220 km from the NPP
Contaminated food could come from home-grown vegetables, or from school lunches in which local produce is used.
