I mentioned radiation because the Russian customs were checking and stopped some Japanese cars from entering the country.
I don�t believe the public was ever told about the real radiation levels from Fukushima.
I thought of radiation when I saw this too...and it is a very valid concern for any product coming from Japan. From food to cars to cameras. The Fukushima disaster is far from over, with ongoing releases of massive amounts of radiation in to the ocean and atmosphere. With the potential for it to become dramatically worse if the spent fuel pool #4 collapses.
The chart posted by Monito...although I imagine well intentioned. Is very misleading. Normal background radiation does not contain radioactive isotopes like plutonium (a large amount of which was released by Fukushima). If you ingest one of these particles, that is where the trouble lies. These \"internal emitters\" are what cause all the mutations, cancers and diseases.
Right now they are reporting deformities and mutations of insects in Japan. (It\'s worth remembering that insects by and large are more resistant to radiation than humans).
