- WASHINGTON, DC - The Japanese
nuclear
accident has forced the U-S Environmental Protection Agency to
increase
its checks of air quality across California and the West. So far,
all
radiation levels are normal. The air mass that was over Japan last
week
is due to cross over the Continental U-S beginning tomorrow, in particular
Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Because the air mass that was over Japan
at the time of the accident is now heading our way, the E-P-A has boosted
air sample checks. Instead of the normal twice per week, air samples are
being checked daily. The samples are shipped to an Alabama lab for
examination,
and so far, radiation levels have been normal.
