Isn't that less than the average you'd expect solely from background radiation in Japan anyway? edit delete replymercedo wrote today at 11:22 AM Background radiation before this experimental incineration is 0.05 We have several reports which say radiation index in Kokura is now around 0.2 In Fukuoka, 60 kilometres away from the incinerator it is 0.15 delete replyengineerpoet wrote today at 12:21 PM How can you be experiencing ill effects at HALF the average dose-rate of humans on Earth? If 0.15 μSv/hr is hurting you, people in Denver Colorado (0.9 μSv/hr) should be much worse off. But they're not; they're among the healthiest people in the USA. Seriously, you should be looking for other causes. Have your serum cortisol level (an indicator for stress) checked. If stress-reduction techniques don't help the other symptoms, look for chemical issues. If there's a government conspiracy, using radiation to distract you from other things is far more likely than tiny levels of radiation causing health problems in Japan that it doesn't cause anywhere else. delete replyengineerpoet wrote today at 5:16 AM, edited today at 5:17 AM mercedo said 0. 15 micro sievert per hour near my residence in soeks. 0.15 μSv/hr * 8760 hr/yr = 1.31 mSv/yr The AVERAGE exposure for humans around the world is 2.4 mSv/yr, nearly twice what you say you're getting. People in Ramsar in Iran average 260 mSv/yr. Whatever's causing your problems, radiation isn't it. Stress could be a cause or contributing factor. Stressing out over completely safe levels of radiation is certainly not going to help you; it could even be the cause of what's ailing you. edit delete replymercedo wrote today at 12:32 PM Debris includes not only high level of radiation which is average 221 becquerels but also such harmful substances as asbestos, arsenic, hexavalent chromium and polychlorinated biphenyl. It is unknown for us to see how risky the burning of debris is. Experimental..which has two meaning. One is if the burning do harm to environment and human, all news says there were no rise of radiation at any point. So the answer of this question is already fixed. The other meaning is much more important. Residents must acquire some tolerance in their body by putting small amount of harmful substances as well as radioactive dust in order to prepare for the constant incineration over one year. And also gives those who don't want to be exposed by any amount of negative factors the chance and time to move from the spot.
