...and the information continues to flow. No danger from Japanese radiation? Right. Is the sky falling, no but we better wake up. Because NOTHING is being done to contain this daily flow into our ocean! It should come as no surprise to hear that since Fukushima, the EPA has suggested that contaminated water supplies do not need intervention until levels are “27,000 times less stringent than the EPA rule of 3 picocuries per liter.” The NY Times cites Michio Aoyama, an oceanographer at a research institute in Japan, who is considered an authority on radiation in the sea, as suggesting radioactive cesium 137 is likely filtering into the Pacific at 30 billion becquerels per day, nearly triple last years values. The levels that strontium 90 may be entering the Pacific at a similar rate. There have been many strange, widespread environmental occurrences that some have attributed to extreme exposure to radioactive particles such as cesium, strontium and iodine. Pacific currents sweep the contaminated water west towards the North Pacific Gyre, splitting off and heading north along the British Columbia and Alaskan shores while simultaneously swooping past Washington, Oregon and California. The Canadian government claims that its citizens shouldn’t worry about the aftermath of Fukushima affecting them, but signs of its influence are popping up everywhere. LAST YEAR (Jan 2012), Alex Roslin, a reporter for the Vancouver Sun revealed the findings of a study that showed 73% of mackerel tested, 91% of halibut, 92% of sardines, 93% of tuna and eel, 94% of cod and anchovies AND 100% of the carp, seaweed, shark and monkfish caught by British Columbian fishermen had alarming concentrations of radioactive particles.
