Yellow Dust
Just went out to start my car, and discovered yellow colored dusting all over it.
I live in the midwest, so we've gotten a bunch of rain lately, but none yesterday...so perhaps its from the fallout or some other source. I seriously doubt its pollen. Any ideas?
The yellow dust is common
The yellow dust is common this time of year in Asia. It blows for western China&Mongolia, and Kazackstan. It has radioactive and other contaminants in it. Japan and Korea are covered with it. Somethimes it shows up in the USA.
Check pollen in your area

Some stations have no data. But, some do. Tree and grass pollen
are at the upper end of the range.

With all this "yellow rain" and "yellow dust" being found, one
would think that SOMEBODY would poke a Geiger counter at some to
find out if it's radioactive or not. It's not like there's a
shortage of folks running around with Geiger counters these days.
We've seen videos of guys walking around Tokyo with a Geiger counter.
If there was a significant amount of yellow rain/dust being found
outside, you'd figure they would jump at the opportunity to check
it out. Instead, all we hear about is comparisons to Chernobyl
and how the Japanese government is using pollen as an "excuse".
Has anyone seen the results of any testing done of the yellow stuff?
Either in the US or Japan?
Are you joking about the
Are you joking about the excessive Geiger counters we have in the US? There is a massive shortage of them; the back-orders are a few months and many concerned citizens are without one, fearing for their safety since the government agencies have proved themselves untrustworthy. While it's true that Japan is a highly developed AND stable country, and thus they seem to have a Geiger counter on every corner, let us not fool ourselves that if ever there was a disaster here, the county agencies would all be monitoring like in Japan. It is highly likely that the federal and local government are ill-prepared for readings and emergency procedures, and I base this on the behavior of the EPA and CDC, etc. during previous emergencies. See this "comical" notice by the CDC on "Zombie disasters", in effect,mocking serious issues like Fukushima.

No, I'm not joking
I didn't say there were "excessive Geiger counters". I said there was
no shortage of people with them. Shortage due to panic buying aside,
there are already a lot in the hands of the public. Just look at the
number of them reporting on the following radiation maps:
Radiation Network:
http://radiationnetwork.com/
Black Cat Systems:
http://www.blackcatsystems.com/RadMap/
I can count 56 *active* on those sites (I don't know if any are reporting
to both systems or not). But, that's just the ones that signed up for
those systems. I'm sure the number participating in those systems are a
very small fraction of the number of Geiger counters out there. And we've
had more than a few folks with Geiger counters posting to this forum. It
would seem to me that anyone into Geiger counters so much that they
spend the not so insignificant amount of cash to buy one would be just
dying to try it out on just about everything. ESPECIALLY those that went
to the trouble to connect to one of the radiation map web sites.
With this as a back drop, I'll ask again. Has anyone seen the results
of any testing done of the yellow stuff (dust, rain, snow, etc)? Either
in the US or Japan?
YES it's pollen. Otherwise
YES it's pollen. Otherwise BRAWM wouldn't need to spend days monitoring with incredibly expensive and sensitive equipment to obtain MINIMAL detections.
Have you shaken a pine tree
Have you shaken a pine tree lately? They are blooming right now and when you touch it a puff of golden yellow powder goes up. I'm in colorado and have been seeing this for about a week now and the pine trees are not finished yet!
Depends upon where you live.
Depends upon where you live. Maybe there aren't as many pine trees in the Midwest.
There is a lot of yellow pollen from pines where I live. It accumulates whether it rains or not. This is the season for it. Back in March, however, there was yellow "dust" all over my porch after a rain. The trees were not producing pollen and after I had washed it off my porch, it did not come back. That was fall out, couldn't have been anything else. Yet every news agency was saying that there was pollen falling everywhere in the world. They simply would not admit that the yellow dust was probably Iodine 131 that had combined with ozone, which causes it to turn a yellowish color. In May, I didn't have a geiger counter. Now I'm not concerned with what is most definitely pollen falling from the pines.
I just don't like the media and our govt lying to us and treating us like children. Give us the facts and let us make our own decisions about how to deal with what is happening. But then, ours is a country that "protects" us by giving us tickets when we don't wear our seatbelts or helmets. Kill us with your corporate/military made toxins, but for god sake, don't let us make our own personal health decisions.
Where's the pollen test results?
Given that it was March when all the trees are cranking up pollen
production, I don't agree with your "That was fall out, couldn't have
been anything else" statement. Especially when nobody has validated it
with a geiger counter. And think about it. If it really was an iodine-131
concentration that you could actually *see*, a geiger counter should go
nuts near it. But, nobody in the US or anywhere else has taken the time
to do that simple check? When supposedly this "yellow rain"/"yellow dust"
is falling over VERY huge area? And no independent person has checked it
out? What about Caldicott or Gunderson? Wouldn't this be a golden "I told
you so" opportunity for them?
Pollen production cranks up between March and May. My definition of "dust"
may differ from yours, but I don't see pollen dust when it rains. I see
spots of pollen. This is because the rain condenses it. When the pollen
is blowing in the wind, it coats things pretty evenly and, unless there's
a lot or it's on the windshield of your car, you may not even notice it.
But, when it rains, you see spots and even streaks from where the rain
has condensed the pollen and made it more visible.
