Results of Radiation Dose Estimates Radiation doses for a total of 361,906 residents have been estimated to date. The results of radiation dose estimates for 354,736 respondents (excluding radiation workers) suggested that the doses for more than 90% of the respondents were <2 mSv in the Kempoku and Kenchu areas (Fig. 1). The doses for approximately 91% of the respondents in the Kennan area and more than 99% of those in Aizu and Minami-aizu were <1 mSv. The estimated doses for 78% of respondents residing in Soso area as well as for more than 99% of those in Iwaki district were also <1 mSv (Table 2).

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34230411 Japan 02/15/2013 12:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We talk about this Topic since ancient Times: "There is no statistical Data in the World about the Thyroid Size", we cant compare this Numbers with the People in Greenland or in Santiago, Los Angeles or Nerja! Since ca. 50 Years we get bombarded by Hormones (Thyroid- Hormone Production) in our Food, Water and even in Shampoo so i am surprised that the Jap@nese Size is still soooo small. Check the Data and see that the absolute majority of the positive tested Children in F:Shima have a Thyroid of under 2mm (Millimetre) Diameter! I don:t say we should not look for it but we should not give such a great importance to the Thyroid-Topic, Thyroid is just a hot Topic because of H. Caldicot and her Money making System, imo. it is much more important that we reduce the Danger from the still running NPP.! Thyroid is just a Distraction from the real Topic (Turn the damned Plants off) with a 95% Chance for Healing! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 35855460 Germany 03/09/2013 06:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ministry: Rate of Fukushima thyroid abnormalities roughly normal More than 40 percent of children from Fukushima Prefecture tested for thyroid abnormalities, such as small cysts or lumps, but that rate is not troubling because it roughly matches data elsewhere in Japan, the Environment Ministry said March 8. "The results in Fukushima Prefecture were approximately the same as in the other prefectures," said Yasuo Kiryu, a senior ministry official in charge of radiological health control. --- To obtain control data for comparison, the Environment Ministry tested 4,365 children aged between 3 and 18 in three other cities far from Fukushima, using ultrasound devices of the same performance and diagnostic standards. --- The surveys found cysts measuring up to 2 cm and lumps measuring up to 5 mm in 56.6 percent of the children tested. Larger cysts and lumps were found in 1.0 percent of them, compared with 0.6 percent in the Fukushima children. "The survey found that the situation in Fukushima is not abnormal," said Shigenobu Nagataki, a professor emeritus of radiology at Nagasaki University. [link to ajw.asahi.com] |
