pollen testing??

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2011-04-15 10:20

I am wondering, as pollen from trees and plants is covering my home and town, if it could contain radioisotopes from Japan. Could the trees and plants have taken up the isotopes during the heavy rains and directed them to their pollen production? Scary and I hope not...but it may be worth testing....or at the very least could you pass a geiger counter over some? ha.

‹ BRAWM, are you testing FRESH milk (from the udder) or prepackaged? Milk is prepackaged up to 90 days so some should be fine. Fuel has melted in all 3 reactors/risk of big release 4/15 ›

I didn't mean to suggest

I didn't mean to suggest more work for the BRAWM team, however being a biologist this seems possible and could potentially pose another route for airborne material to make it's way into the body.

and in honey.

Honey is an interesting idea. I would expect if there was anything in the pollen, that honey would be an accumulator. I will mention this to the team.

has your team also

has your team also considered testing strains of wild mushrooms with high melanin levels? they are also 'accumulators'

thanks for your consideration and all of your hard work
