    Muramatsu says drinking tap water over a short period poses no health risk even for infants. He added there's no problem using tap water for non-consumption purposes, such as bathing and laundry.

    Muramatsu urges continued monitoring to see if the high levels of radiation are sustained and whether the contamination spreads over a wider area.

    yeah, but that means all the iodine and caesium now in the water was at some point flowing through the air in tokyo... right?
    so how come radiation in tokyo has supposedly been normal this whole time?
    and it was washed out of the air by rain, but how did it get into the air in and around tokyo? and how come from all places around fukushima, the values are the highest in tokyo, which is pretty far off and the wind has mostly been blowing in other directions?

    it just continues to go like this...
    no release of major radiation
    then there IS a release of radiation
    the wind is blowing to the sea
    then radioactivity IS carried in-land
    radiation levels are fine
    then tab water IS affected

    the japanese government keeps failing and falling flat on its face in regards to public announcements... all the runs on water and food show that the japanese government has 0 credibility in the eyes of the japanese people, doesnt it?

    limits are conservative, yes, but there is a reason why they are there...
    you cant tell people to ignore the limit... if the limit can be ignored, then why does it exist to begin with? and its easy to tell people the limit can be ignored, giving your own newborn tab water that MOST LIKELY isnt hurting it is a lot harder... and honestly, would anybody here give their kids tab water after this? i wouldnt... im not even sure if id drink it myself...

    id like to see some government and tepco people give babies of their own families tab water... come on... we all know they are using bottled water as well
