Radiation Found in US Milk, EPA Says

In a written statement, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said that results from a screening sample taken March 25 from Spokane, Wash., detected 0.8 pCi/L of iodine-131. That would be more than 5,000 times lower than the Derived Intervention Level set by the US Food and Drug Administration, the agency said.

The EPA statement said it has increased the level of radiation monitoring in response to the radiation leaks from the earthquake stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex in Japan.

Should we be concerned because radiation was found in milk from Washington state?
