Posting this radionuclide effect on lungs again 'cuz it sort of got
lost on previous page. Seems pretty much pinning it down to me. Poor
dolphins and other air breathers too.
Excerpt from one part of the studies: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/17716999_Ischemia_of_the_lung_due_to_ionizing_radiation_quantitative_studies
>Differential broncho spirometry in man has shown that the percent of
oxygen uptake of one lung, which is a measure of the percent of
pulmonary blood flow to that lung, correlates closely with the fraction
of radioactive particles in that lung (10). It has also been shown that
radioactive particles and labeled red cells undergo a nearly identical
distribution in the lung (11). Our results confirm the finding that
radiation injury causes pulmonary ischemia. They indicate that the
degree of ischemia is influenced both by the duration of survival
following irradiation magnitude of the radiation dose. Our observations
were made over a 10-month interval, which is about half the life span of
the Swiss mouse. We did not observe evidence or reversal of the
intensity of ischemia. Therefore we conclude that the process is
irreversible although further studies through an entire life span would
be required to establish this point irrefutably. <Necropsies of more than a dozen of the mammals revealed ischemia of the lungs. On-site techs report that the dolphin's lungs were white. Ischemia is inflammation and constriction of the vascular system. There was no blood supply reaching the organs; these animals suffocated in their home environment. Mass stranding are up worldwide [see google]. Previous research shows this outcome is predicted when mammals are exposed to ionizing radiation.

> [humans] exchange only about 10-15% of the air in
our lungs with every breath, while whales exchange about 80 to 90%. They also
have a very quick gas exchange. This short window of time at the surface also
requires the whales to have extremely efficient breaths. This is possible
because their lungs have a large surface area to rapidly exchange gases. This
surface area comes from all of the small alveolar sacs in the lungs at the end
of the larger airways that come in contact with the fresh oxygen.
It's
spring in Ester, Alaska and bears are on the move. They're unpredictable and no
one wants to be surprised in the dooryard. When bears are spotted, neighbors
call each other and the post office, where the alert goes up on the community
wall.
In
Caloundra, Queensland, Australia risks to life and limb don't arrive on four
legs. It's radiation from Fukushima's wreckage that is tracked and measured by
a neighborhood organization. Originally devised as a computer club to help
people make use of the technology, one of its members applied its resources to
monitoring radiation in air, rain and food.
If
you want more information about the risks associated with contact or ingestion
of the shit that's boiling out of Fukushima, the Sunshine Coast Computer Club,
Inc. [SCCC] presents data the USG denies. Informed consumers of the
nitrogen/oxygen mix our lungs draw [adults at rest 12-20/min., infants to 6 wks
30-60/min.] have expectations of safety until declared otherwise.
Welcome
to dashed expectations. The feds have been lying to the world about the impact
of Fukushima's multiple and ongoing meltdowns. Big-time lies. Go-to-jail lies.
Staff
at the EPA, NRC, FDA, CDC, who know the reality of the event's global reach,
are sitting on their brains, hoping it's not as bad as the detection units
reveal. The Aussies in Caloundra present data that contradicts the hollow
assurances from USG authorities: 'no immediate danger'. For more than four
years, such inanities issue from agencies whose charters have been cast aside.
For
many, the nuclear industry's habit of lying and obfuscation is more than enough
justification to suspect its motives. Prudent people will consider all
information, even if some is unsourced, at this time. See below.
In late March I [Peter Daley] received this email from a
contact who has a Geiger counter. I have removed some information from the
correspondence to protect the contact's anonymity.

"You have to watch your food like a hawk. My daughter had some
tuna in oil....very small tin. I had been warning her. But dad is
crazy. I found the tin going into the recycle, it still had a bit of oil
in it. So, me being me, I got out my geiger counter and took a reading.........it
went ballistic.
It just keep climbing and climbing. I didn't think it was going to
stop......It stopped climbing when it hit 38K counts per minute....I didn't
know my bGeigie Nano meter went that high. The oil seemed OK, the
tin seemed OK, but a tiny flake of leftover tuna the size of a match head was
on the lip of the tin, that is what set it off. Don't eat ANYTHING from
the sea....anymore. That tuna was toxic radioactive nuclear waste, and
not food."
----------------------------------
38,000 counts per minute would be around 1000 times background, using this
model Geiger counter!
I sent this email to get more information on this very high detection.
Do you still have the sample?
If you are located in Australia, and still have the sample, I could test it, if
you posted to me.
If you don't have it, if you provide the information below, I may be able
to source some here, and test it.
In what country was the tuna tinned?
In what country was it purchased?
Here is the reply to my email query.
-----------------------------------
This happened over 6 months ago.
I can only assume it was canned in the USA. tuna in oil. At that
time I thought the reading was coming from the oil in the tin....I didn't
notice the flake that was on the outside top edge of the can. I got it
stuck on my finger and washed it off. After this, is when I couldn't get
a reading from the tin or the oil again. I realized that the flake which
was gone down the drain by then was the cause.
I thought my Geiger counter was malfunctioning at the time, which it
never has before or since. The count was going up and it freaked out my
son as we watched it climb. The highest reading I have ever gotten until then
was 164 CPM off of a milled piece of pine, but at that time I was (and still
am) learning how to use the geiger counter.
-------------------------------------------
A small number of tests on different brands of tinned tuna have been conducted
here recently, and over the last couple years. There was nothing to report from
these tests. This is only one community testing lab, and each test takes 24
hours, or more. A large variety of mainly Australian food products have been
tested, so statistically the number of tinned tuna tests conducted here at this
stage is very small.
It obvious more widespread food testing needs to be conducted.
