Re: Legitimate Knowledge In The Digital Age.
The EPA's plan to alter radiation levels started was from 2009, and I don't think it ever happened. I see no evidence of what you say being true, and it's certainly not in the article you posted.
I assume you were trying to bring up this information:
the data released Friday, iodine-131 was found in rainwater samples from the following locations:
Salt Lake City, UT collected 3/17: 8.1
Boston, MA collected 3/22: 92
Montgomery, Alabama collected 3/30: 3.7
Boise, ID collected 3/27: 390
This is above the value of 3 that is acceptable for drinking water. Yet, this is rainwater, and all drinking water levels are below the value of 3. I also don't see anything about what baseline levels were before this.
Alternatively, you may be confused about the difference between the EPA and FDA which have different limits. The FDA sets much higher limits, but their limits are associated with a single dose. The FDA allows 2 cancer deaths per 10,000. The EPA has much lower limits which assume 1 additional death per million over 70 years if people continually consume water at that dosage level. The levels in drinking water are all much below the value of 3. There were a few milk samples found that were approximately 3, but these were outliers.
