14,000 additional deaths in the U.S. linked to radioactive fallout from
Fukushima
Posted on December 19, 2011
December 19, 2011 ? WASHINGTON ? An estimated 14,000 excess deaths in the
United States are linked to the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the
Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, according to a major new article in the
December 2011 edition of the International Journal of Health Services. This is
the first peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal documenting the
health hazards of Fukushima. Authors Joseph Mangano and Janette Sherman note
that their estimate of 14,000 excess U.S. deaths in the 14 weeks after the
Fukushima meltdowns is comparable to the 16,500 excess deaths in the 17 weeks
after the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986. The rise in reported deaths after
Fukushima was largest among U.S. infants under age one. The 2010-2011 increase
for infant deaths in the spring was 1.8 percent, compared to a decrease of 8.37
percent in the preceding 14 weeks. The IJHS article will be published Tuesday
and will be available online as of 11 a.m. EST at http://www.radiation.org/.
Just six days after the disastrous meltdowns struck four reactors at Fukushima
on March 11, scientists detected the plume of toxic fallout had arrived over
American shores. Subsequent measurements by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) found levels of radiation in air, water, and milk hundreds of
times above normal across the U.S.
