From Andrew Kishner of idealist.ws: ADVISORY TO EVERYONE IN NORTH AMERICA: FROM IDEALIST.WS
We are expecting the radiation levels in the coming days across north america to worsen from present levels. Present levels are not safe primarily because plutonium particles are entrained in the debris. We are issuing this warning foremost because of the poor monitoring coverage of north america. We have every reason to believe that airborne hotspots will not be detected by monitoring stations of the epa and doe. These hotspots, as with any level of radiation, can increase incidence of malignancies and genetic defects. This environmental increase in radiation crossing the pacific is likely to lead to the greatest increases in internal radiological exposures to be experienced in the lifetimes of those under 20 years of age. Make plans to be safe. Stay indoors as much as possible for the next 4-8 weeks. No ball games, or outings, especially for toddlers or young children. Do not eat dairy products. Do not breastfeed. Already-purchased fresh produce and vegetables in your house are now safe. Rely on canned foods and packaged (dry food) nonperishables until background levels return to normal. Set up a 'mud room' for shoes and jackets. Don't bring shoes and jackets and backpacks into house. Distilled/reverse osmosis water is preferrable. Set heaters and air conditioners to recycle air inside. Use air filter or ionizers to clean indoor air. Farmers and others are advised to move livestock off pasture; cows bioaccumulate in milk iodine-131 at levels one thousand times that found in air; ten thousand fold for goat milk. Radiation exerts ionization energies that strip ions from cells and destroy biological functions. Avoiding external and internal exposure to radioactive particles found in fission fallout - which pool in vital organs of the body - is the best way to ensure maintained health. ----- UncleDon B. Fireland Fanning March 19 at 3:43pm: I'm not certain what I'll do about the above information. I believe Andrew Kishner of idealist.ws is a credible source but that doesn't necessarily make his prescription a correct one. In any case, I feel that it's important for us all to have the best information available so that we can make informed choices. I'll do my best to continue to pass on information that I feel might be of use. ### ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
