Radiation Risk after Fukushima: Know and reduce your risk using available data
The purpose of the present document is three fold. First, it aims to provide a simple calculation method (simple arithmetic equations) to estimate the cumulative radiation dose received by a human body. Second, it discusses how the radioactivity from Cs isotopes in food products could continue in the subsequent years and months and how such risks (environmental and health) may be reduced. For this purpose, only the Cs isotopes are considered as these are the predominant radioactive pollutants in the air, soil and marine environment today and in the next 50 years or longer.* Lastly, health risks from excessive radioactive element accumulations in body (Cs, and other heavier elements) that have been reported in medical journals are discussed.
