Pure Eau Water Coolers and Water Filters to Japan!
Professor Wakeford of Manchester University on Japanese Water threat!
Officials testing the drinking water of Tokyo residents have found the water showed 10 becquerels per litre of iodine-131 which is more than twice the recommended 100 becquerels per litre for infants. The recommended limit for adults is 300 becquerels. (Becquerels is a measure of radiation emmitted whereas millisieverts is a measure of dosage on the body). Infants who drink water contaminated at the Japanese limit of 100 becquerels for a year would effectively receive a dose of 0.4 millisieverts of radiation. Adults who drink water contaminated at the Japanese limit of 300 becquerels for a year would effectively receive a dose of 0.3 millisieverts of radiation. It is estimated that the average person is exposed to 2.5 millisieverts from natural background radiation in a year.
Pure Eau water coolers and water filters with reverse osmosis thechnology is the only cost effective answer to this problem.
In theory, drinking water contaminated at 210 becquerels for a year would cause a very small additional risk of cancer – but in practice nothing more than you could expect to get from normal background levels of radiation. Japanese officials admitted the reading was a concern – but said there was no immediate threat to human health.
