I found maxiumum iodine content for German spinach and milk after Chernobyl

Hello:

This is what I found in a German newspaper about the Iodine content of spinach
in Munich (Germnay) after Chernobyl in 1986: 20 000 becquerel per kilogram Jod 131, and 7000 Becquerel Cesium 137 for spinach.
1000 becquerel per liter milk for Iodine 131 and more than 300 Becquerel per liter milk for Cesium 137.
This shows that California is not there yet! Thank God.
I feel a little better now.

This is the German article:
Wie nach Tschernobyl sind auch jetzt in Japan vor allem Spinat und Milch kontaminiert. 1986 wurden im Münchner Raum bis 20.000 Becquerel je Kilogramm Jod-131 und 7.000 Becquerel Cäsium-137 in Spinat gemessen. Die Radioaktivät in der Milch reichte nach Tschernobyl bis 1.000 Becquerel je Liter Jod-131 und bis über 300 Becquerel je Liter Cäsium-137 in Deutschland. Eine diesbezügliche Strahlenbelastung lässt sich durch den Verzicht auf den Verzehr von frisch geerntetem Gemüse und Milch vermeiden.

Fallout to date compared to Chernobyl

I'm so glad to hear that your team is looking at the Chernobyl data. Will you be posting cumulative totals for each so we can do the comparisons? From the book Deadly Deceit and other studies we have a sense of the death totals around the world from Chernobyl. Many of us parents are particularly interested in comparing data with Europe to get some sense of thyroid and other cancer risk in young children. On this front all of the comparisons to "background" radiation and transatlantic flights seem inapt and misleading.

Thanks so much for your work!

Thanks for the post. We

Thanks for the post. We have a group here that did a lot of Chernobyl fallout testing here in California and we have been comparing results. It is good to also review some of the data from Europe as well.

Did Chernobyl leave a fallout in US?

I did not know that there was radiation from Chernobyl in the US. What magnitude was it? Did it affect all states or other states more than others?
thanks.

Any idea if the

Any idea if the concentrations of Iodine and Cesium (was there also Cesium in the Spinach and Milk?) was lower one year later?

yes, cesium was measured,

yes, cesium was measured, see my post again. I do not know the levels one year later, did not state it, the article.
