According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's announcement, it detected 210 radioactivity iodine per liter at Kanamachi Purification Plant in Katsushika Ward. This is regarded as the influence of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, and since it exceeds the standard value of infants, we are calling for refraining from drinking and intake of infants.

The intake restrictions are subject to restrictions in Tokyo 23 wards, Musashino City, Machida City, Tama City, Inagi City, Mitaka City.

Radioactive iodine is radioactive iodine produced by nuclear fission of uranium and has the property of gathering in the thyroid gland, so taking a large amount may cause thyroid dysfunction and thyroid cancer.

As the reference value is a value stipulated from the viewpoint of "giving health to drinking over a long period of time", it is said that health will not be damaged immediately, but it can not be impossible not to drink water So please be careful in families who live in the applicable area and have infants. In addition, there is no problem concerning the intake of adults.
