Hamada, N. & Ogino, H. (2011). Food safety regulations: what we learned from the Fukushima nuclear accident. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, (this is a pre-publication)
Majia here: This study examines the food safety regulations
implemented in Japan after the Fukushima emergencies. The article does not address the
lack of national food testing services. I think the most significant conclusion
of the article is the observation that the specific food exposure levels set by
the Japanese government did not account for ‘multiple exposure pathways’
From the future perspectives part of the journal article page 13
"...superimposed exposure scenarios via multiple exposure pathways should be considered when applying RL prospectively for planning of protection strategies and also retrospectively as a benchmark to judge the effectiveness of these implementations.
