Radioactive Iodine Detected in Glasgow, Scotland from the Japan Nuclear Accident Plant

Seems the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency have detected low levels of radioactive iodine in Glasgow.

I was expecting this, im near Glasgow myself.

I cannot help but feel that this is lies and its a potentially bigger threat.

DITO, I live near Glasgow as well. In fact I am travelling there in a bit. They say it is low levels but the fallout from the Chernobyl accident hit us bad, I won't be surprised if it gets the same this time as well?

I am not going to start buying bottled water just yet.....

I remember that and there was a lot of cover up going on at the time as well to begin with.

Makes you wonder about the amount of cancer going around in these parts?

If any of the media reports, about the radiation in Japan being as high as they claim it is, are correct it might be similar or worse if its blown over here.

here is a quick search on google of Scotland having the highest cancer rate in the UK:

Thats not good.
Good luck, Im an aussie, but my grandparents and my mum are from Glasgow.(10 pound poms)
I feel that the whole world is been lied to too. This threat is alot bigger than TPTB are letting on. As you have shown that it is already halfway around the globe, At least your media has told you stuff. Our Oz media is still showing us what type of cake prince willy is getting for his wedding in a months time
All i can say to you is trust your gut feelings, trust your instincts, Read between the lines. These next few months will define the next generations.
Take care

Im in Glasgow just now, so hopefully there will be nothing to worry about, but I have noticed something over the last few days, it might be nothing but worth a mention.

Theres strange dust that apears to be coating all cars. Mines is COMPLETELY covered, its as if there is dust in the rain as the coating is very "even". (usually my car only gets really dirty at the side where cars pass). Also this dirt goes grey when wet, you can see it stream off the car when you use your window washers. I will point out, we do have alot of "red ash", pretend salt/ grit the council layed when they ran out to try & make them look less incompetent (didnt work). So the roads are "dusty", however my car does not sit on a main road, & like I said the coating is very "even".

Hopefull its nothing more than dust (as it hasnt rained in a few days either) The only reason I mention this is that I find it weird im just noticing this now, if it was normal surely it would always have been like this! (Is there any way I can Test this?)

Article on the effects of the Chernobyl Accident on the UK, with 369 farms still under orders not to sell sheep from their farms:

en.wikipedia.org...

As of 2009, sheep farmed in some areas of the UK are still subject to inspection which may lead to them being prohibited from entering the human food chain because of contamination arising from the accident: "Some of this radioactivity, predominantly radiocaesium-137, was deposited on certain upland areas of the UK, where sheep-farming is the primary land-use. Due to the particular chemical and physical properties of the peaty soil types present in these upland areas, the radiocaesium is still able to pass easily from soil to grass and hence accumulate in sheep. A maximum limit of 1,000 becquerels per kilogramme (Bq/kg) of radiocaesium is applied to sheep meat affected by the accident to protect consumers. This limit was introduced in the UK in 1986, based on advice from the European Commission's Article 31 group of experts. Under power provided under the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 (FEPA), Emergency Orders have been used since 1986 to impose restrictions on the movement and sale of sheep exceeding the limit in certain parts of Cumbria, North Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland... When the Emergency Orders were introduced in 1986, the Restricted Areas were large, covering almost 9,000 farms, and over 4 million sheep. Since 1986, the areas covered by restrictions have dramatically decreased and now cover 369 farms, or part farms, and around 200,000 sheep. This represents a reduction of over 95% since 1986, with only limited areas of Cumbria, South Western Scotland and North Wales, covered by restrictions.[17] 369 farms and 190,000 sheep are still affected, a reduction of 95% since 1986, when 9,700 farms and 4,225,000 sheep were under restriction across the United Kingdom.[18] In Norway, the Sami people were affected by contaminated food (the reindeer had been contaminated by eating lichen, which are very sensitive to radioactivity).[19]

When this started I remember reading a lot of people some calling themselves experts saying that radiation would not reach the UK. It makes me wonder what else they are wrong about.

Well I've just clicked onto the Sydney Morning Herald, ABC News & news.com.au and found very many stories about this Japanese reactor incident.

Guess you surf in the wrong places, mate.

I have noticed this residue and as you say not having rain for days is highlighting it more. This also happened during the Iceland Volcano Eruption last year as well seeing we are only 500 miles from it.
I don't know how youcould test it except if you have a Gieger Counter, that would bleep if it was radioactive?

Good thinking,
Buy up all the whiskey instead, then trade it off for their water. You'll be like a king.

Sorry, just trying to put some light on a dark subject.
Please remove MODS if off topic.

Could the recent tap water disruption be a cover up for radioactive iodine being found in Glasgow's water supply?
Taken from STV News website, does not exist anymore on their server:

Scottish Water has apologised to residents in the west of Scotland whose water supply became contaminated with high levels of aluminium. People living in parts of Bearsden, Milngavie, Faifley, Strathblane, Mugdock, Hardgate and Cochno were warned not to drink water from the mains after the problem was detected on Friday. The company said the fault at Burncooks Water Treatment Works had now been fixed, but the warning will remain in place until all the affected water has been flushed out. Residents and business are warned not to use tap water for drinking, teeth brushing, food preparation, making babies' feeds or feeding pets until further notice. The company said the water is safe to use for washing clothes, baths and showers. Drinks and ice dispensing machines should also be avoided as they are connected to the mains supply. Alternative water supplies will be provided in the affected areas with priority given to the elderly, disabled, hospitals and care homes, said the firm. Geoff Aitkenhead, Scottish Water's asset management director, said the ban was a precautionary measure. He said: "We would like to reassure our customers in the area that this is a precautionary, temporary measure and we are doing everything possible to restore normal supplies as soon as possible. "We would like to apologise to people in the affected areas."

Yeah was thinking that, unfortrunately they are not cheap!!


I did find some instructions though (suprised I havent seen them here already) for a DIY Geiger Counter ,will need to have alook through and see how do-able it is.

Was talking about the NEWS as in TV. Not PC, And i bet those stories were just that, stories with no actual facts.
Yeah, aint you blessed then, but not all people have a computer and the majority of people rely off the TV for their news. And they aint said S%$T.
Lucky you, you can just surf wherever you want and find stuff when ever you want But just remember kid, most of us live in the real world, the majority of the worlds population do not have a computer. And the news is what they rely on to keep them informed, the people look to the TV for NEWS as they think that is where they should look if there is ever a problem, these poor people actually think that their government cares.
So since you are so informed more how than us lesser humans , how about sharing your wealth of knowledge with us all.
And dont call me mate
