"A very low concentration of radioactive particles, but too low to be harmful to humans." So American diplomats away the doubts of a possible danger to the inhabitants of the west coast, affected by the passage of a "cloud" from Fukushima. In short, seems to confirm what was announced yesterday by Howard Becker, director of the Department of Health, which had stressed that the 5000 miles between California and Japan were sufficient to dispel any possible hazardous radioactive concentration.
Even President Obama, speaking on his Japanese tragedy, he stressed that "the West Coast, Alaska, Hawaii and other U.S. territories in the Pacific there is no risk to any radiation, as guaranteed by the experts of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and many their colleagues. " On a more pragmatic, but not less disturbing, other experts have pointed out that the concern of Californians should be directed to the emergency earthquake in their state and how this could damage their nuclear power plants.
In addition, Menas Kafatos of Chapman University, while agreeing with the provisions of the NRC, states that the entire landscape would change the face of a worsening situation in Japan. "Faced with a situation of total collapse, there would be a new Chernobyl and then the situation for the inhabitants of the west coast could no longer be regarded as reassuring.
One scenario, however, according to experts, despite the difficult situation in Fukushima, it is very remote. Expert reassurances, however, does not seem sufficient for the Americans, particularly those of the west coast that have literally stormed the pharmacy to stock up on potassium iodate, which is useful to prevent some harmful effects of radiation on the thyroid.
A solution "do it yourself" that those responsible for health care, especially for the side effects of the product in patients allergic to shellfish or thyroid problems. Then there are those who suggest "natural remedies" such as gorging on stalks of celery and, of course, the shops have finished all the stocks of radiation detectors.
Experts suggest, rather, to stock food for three to four days, so be prepared in case of an earthquake "local" I repeat that this could lead to more problems' of serious "side effects" of the Japanese. No problem for surfers and beach lovers: any radiation in the ocean, be dispersed long before reaching the west coast with even the 'minimal danger'.
