For perspective on the concentrations, the dose from inhaling 3000 uBq/m3 of
I-131 (gas) would be less than 1 uSv (microsievert) per year for an adult
member of the public. The doses from the other radionuclides noted below
would be even lower. Doses via other pathways (e.g. food) would obviously
be different but probably also insignificant.

I wonder how many "Fukushima equivalents " are represented by a single New
York hyperthyroid treatment?

> How scientifically credible is CRIIRAD, alleged French research body on
radioactivity. The alleged NGO advised pregnant women and infants against
"risky behaviour," such as consuming fresh milk or vegetables with large
leaves in April 2011. Now the anti-nukes are trying to tie this alleged
warning into the coverup of the effects of lead leached out of the pipes
into the drinking water in Flint Michigan.

the Authorities in Flint Michigan, who let people know that the drinking
water of the city was full of chemicals and Lead Pb in October 2015
(because of local activism and pressure), had actually warned the government
staff in Flint of this and even delivered clean water sources to the offices
a whole year before the public statement.

> I want to draw attention to a similar situation in the USA after the
Fukushima nuclear disaster when high levels of Iodine 131 and other
radionuclides were wafting their way to Europe. In Europe CRIIRAD had issued
a warning on possible health effects in France and advised that children and
Pregnant women should refrain from drinking milk and eating leafy
vegetables. CRIIRAD also stated that the USA had ten times the level of
radiation than France. The European Media did not run with the story nor did
the US media, thus putting young children and Pregnant women at risk of
increaing the amounts of iodine 131 they might have ingested or inhaled.
