Here is an article from nytimes.com about a study done about the risks about radioactive iodine after the Chernobyl accident. The scariest part is that the exposure to the radioactive material wasn't direct , but through dairy products. The study reveals the exposure leads to increase chance of thyroid cancer. Interesting stuff, especially with what is going on with Japan right now. Hopefully Japan does a better job of protecting people from the potentially harmful effects of radiation.
