STATEMENT FROM CALIFORNIA'S DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY ON RISK OF RADIATION EXPOSURE

SACRAMENTO - Today the interim director of the California Department of Public Health, Dr. Howard Backer, and acting secretary of the California Emergency Management Agency, Mike Dayton, issued the following statement emphasizing Californians' safety from radiation exposure and the risks of taking potassium iodide as a precautionary measure.

"The safety of all Californians is our highest priority, and we are in constant contact with the federal agencies responsible for monitoring radiation levels across the West Coast.

We want to emphasize that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have all stated that there is no risk expected to California or its residents as a result of the situation in Japan.

We are actively monitoring the situation in Japan and are ready to take all steps necessary to protect Californians should risks develop.

We urge Californians to not take potassium iodide as a precautionary measure. It is not necessary given the current circumstances in Japan, it can present a danger to people with allergies to iodine, shellfish or who have thyroid problems, and taken inappropriately it can have serious side effects including abnormal heart rhythms, nausea, vomiting, electrolyte abnormalities and bleeding.

Our thoughts are with the people of Japan at this tragic time."

Californians with questions about radiation exposure can contact the California Department of Public Health's Emergency Operations information line at 916 341-3947.

  1. Rodolpheもそういっていた。彼はIAEAのサイトをみて状況確認している。メディアは、深い知識がないから、正確な情報出すのも難しいだろうからって。

  2. 実は私の義妹がヨウ化カリウムの粉末を手に入れ、原発から60㎞の被災地いわき市の家族へ届けたのですが、医者に確認したらやたらと使う物ではないと注意されました。40歳以上の人が飲むと甲状腺がんになる確率があがり、主に子供や若い人が被曝したあと、その場を離れてすぐ飲むと効果があるそうです。その被曝の量も5万マイクロシーベルト以上の場合です。日頃ヨウ素の多い食品、こんぶやワカメなどを食べている日本人は、処方される量も違うようです。
    今、東京の日野市(原発から250㎞の地点)での放射線量は0.2マイクロシーベルト/時です。原発が水素爆発をしたときは一瞬数値があがりましたが、いまのところは大丈夫です。カリフォルニアに届くときには、うすまっていると思いますが、海は繋がっているので、今後の海産物への影響などがあまりないことを祈っています。

  3. 放射能の活動(?)は三ヶ月間で死ぬそうです。(ソース夫)しばらく魚を控えたほうがよさそうですね。
