中国发现放射性碘 不影响环境与健康
Authorities are cautiously approaching the situation in Heilongjiang province after low levels of radioactive material were detected for the second day on Sunday. But officials say public health and the environment remain unaffected.
China's National Nuclear Emergency Coordination Committee issued a statement on Sunday, saying the level of iodine-131 has largely remained the same as the day before.
On Saturday, Chinese monitoring stations detected radioactive material in the air for the first time.
The committee said the material was believed to be coming from Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
The Ministry of Health said on its official website that the situation poses no risk to public health as levels of the radioactive material are below one-hundred-thousandth of the average level.
The ministry reassured the public that as monitoring work continues, the government will release information about the situation in a timely manner.
According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the monitoring of 42 major Chinese cities by 4 pm on Sunday showed the "Japanese nuclear incident does not affect the country's environment and public health."
