Do some internet research and you find that we have increased radiation in the air and the ocean since March. If to every action there is a reaction what will the end result be to the health of all species.

There are ways to minimize the radon levels in your home by purchasing a $10 radon kit.

While I have four obsolescent CRT TVs, they put enough lead in the glass that radiation isn't a problem. Electromagnetic pulse environments aren't that problematic unless they are approaching levels seen in test rigs for simulated nuclear blasts. At that level, as determined by cancer cluster searching, there is a good possibility of leukemia. You can happily tap on an iPad all day as it's USB powered which means 5 V.

A couple of years ago, I noted my dentist had three dental hygienists and each one had their own X-ray machine. I then asked my dentist if they had lead in the walls to keep from blasting each other with X-rays. He commented that dental x-rays are very low power and won't even penetrate drywall to any measurable level. When I went in last time, he had upgraded to digital X-rays. Even less radiation exposure and no hazardous chemistry involved. Just something that looked like a film holder with a USB cable on the other end. >And according to my pen pal from China, people in China aren't worried about >radiation poisoning because "all the food and water [they] drink is already polluted >anyway because [they] have no FDA." Look up Zheng Xiaoyu in Wikipedia. He formerly ran the State Food and Drug Administration in China. He got caught taking bribes. China does not fool around with white-collar crime. He was injected with a lethal dose of barbiturates. Hopefully not made by a corrupt pharmaceutical company. [Edited by: Sneakers55 at 5/12/2011 1:58:17 PM EST]

That is from the factories polluting them. Of course they wouldn't worry about radiation. Then watched another on the fact that they get water from the Great Lakes because theirs is so contaminated, nothing surprises me about China.

And according to my pen pal from China, people in China aren't worried about radiation poisoning because "all the food and water [they] drink is already polluted anyway because [they] have no FDA."

I've looked into levels you receive from computers, X-rays microwaves,and many other things. Japans crisis is very different contamination of food and water is different than the osmosis effect from electronics.
