“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

Concerns Raised Over Lack Of Radiation Checks On Shipments

FROM: TRIBUNE 242

THE BAHAMAS Customs Department does not test cargo shipments for radiation contamination, Comptroller Charles Turner confirmed yesterday.
Following reports last week that Jamaican Customs authorities have recorded ‘higher-than-normal’ levels of radiation in two shipments from Japan, Mr Turner said he was “not aware of any checks being undertaken in the Bahamas”.
According to The Gleaner, Jamaica Customs Agency has been on “high alert” since the March 2011 earthquake-triggered meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan.
