ShareThisMANILA – Small amounts of radiation from Japan’s leaking nuclear power plant have spread across Asia, including the Philippines.
Traces of radiation had also drifted all the way to the United States, with rainwater in Ohio found to have been contaminated last Monday, according to AFP.
The governments of China, South Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam reported that radiation had drifted over their territories, although they emphasized the levels were so small that there was no health risk.
“We would like to ask the public not to panic. These are very tiny amounts in the air,” said Tina Cerbolis of the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute.
