Glowing in the Dark? Thank the E.P.A.

The E.P.A. has only our welfare in mind, right? Not a fucking chance!
They are looking at increasing the permissible radioactive releases in drinking water, food and soil, By an unbelievably high amount!
Quote:What is termed a guidance that EPA is considering - as opposed to a regulation - does not require public airing before it’s decided upon.
Drinking water, for example, would have a huge increase in allowable public exposure to radioactivity, the group says, that would include:
A nearly 1000-fold increase in strontium-90
A 3000 to 100,000-fold hike for iodine-131
An almost 25,000 rise for nickel-63
The new radiation guidance would also allow long-term cleanup standards thousands of times more lax than anything EPA has ever before accepted, permitting doses to the public that EPA itself estimates would cause a cancer in as much as every fourth person exposed, the group says.
These relaxed standards are opposed by public health professionals inside EPA, according to documents PEER said it obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
Full Stories:
Oh, and the Gulf of Mexico is back to normal, Monsanto only wants to serve up healthy food.
And, we've had no radiation fallout here in the U.S. from the Japanese Reactors, even though the E.P.A. took 8 of the 18 radiation monitoring staions offline last week in California, Oregon and Washington..... because of abnormal readings.
The E.P.A. says:
Quote:EPA Monitoring Continues to Confirm That No Radiation Levels of Concern Have Reached the United States
Release date: 03/28/2011
Nobody changes until the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change....
A guilty conscience can be more cruel a judge than any court of law. In the end its not how many toys we had, and all that we ever were is the impressions we left on those we leave behind.
Live life as you want to be remembered when you're gone!
