Singapore finds radioactivity in imported Japan vegetables
SINGAPORE |
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore said on Thursday its authorities had found low levels of radioactive contaminants in four samples of vegetables imported from Japan.
It said samples of wild parsley, rapeseed plant, mustard and perilla leaf were found to have elevated levels of radiation, although an adult would have to consume 3.5 kg (7.7 lb) of these vegetables to receive a similar amount of radiation as one X-ray.
The contaminated samples were imported from the affected prefectures of Tochigi and Ibaraki, as well as Chiba and Ehime which are outside the affected areas.
Earlier on Thursday, Singapore suspended the import of milk, meat and produce from areas near Japan's crippled nuclear power plant due to worries of radiation contamination.

“Singapore suspended the import…due to worries of radiation contamination.”
.
The imports are being suspended due to the radiation, NOT due to the worries.
.
This type of psychological redirect is dishonest and more than a little insulting, and right-thinking people should fully reject it.
.
Who wants this pathology being constantly thrown into the mental environment? Let’s have some news about the full-spectrum of radiation exposure. No one is saying a word about the possible Alpha-emissions of Plutonium and Uranium.
.
The sins of omission in this situation are becoming intolerable.
