Radiation Brings Health Concerns

After the devastating, unfortunate earthquake and tsunami in Japan; some Americans are concerned about the radiation from the Japanese nuclear power.Questions and concerns have been brought to the surface about the health dangers Americans could be facing because of Japan's nuclear crisis.
In Boston, a sample of rainwater revealed very low concentrations of radiation, which they believe came all the way from Japan.  The amount of radiation was low enough to dismiss possible safety hazards. Even though the Massachusetts Department of Public Health explained that the radiation will not affect the drinking water supply, and that it will eventually lose half of its level within eight days, many still fear about their safety.    43 percent of respondents to this issue said that Japan's crisis will leave a mark.  The individuals within this 43 percent believe that the Japanese nuclear disaster will doom efforts in this Congress to expand nuclear energy. There have been multiple U.S. testing sites that have discovered amounts of radiation, some of which are slightly higher than a week or so ago, but are all still far below public health concern.
