Traces of Nuclear Radiation in the U.S.


At least 15 states reported detecting radioisotopes in air or water or both. No states have recommended that residents take potassium iodide, a salt that protects the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine.
Iodine-131 was detected in the air at South Carolina, Florida, and in elevated levels in the air at Maryland. The East Coasts, West  Coasts, and Caribbean Coasts states must be very cautious. As I found out last week, most of the rain which has been pouring down on us was radioactive.
