Radiation from the damaged nuclear plant in Japan now appears to be reaching the U.S. East Coast, according to the Associated Press.
Samples of rainwater in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have registered “very low” concentrations of radioactive material, the AP reported Sunday.
The New York Times reported that a monitoring station in Charlottesville has also picked up “fresh radiation.”
In response to the reports, the Virginia Department of Health on Sunday issued a statement emphasizing that the radiation detected is harmless.
The state agency says it is working on a plan for baseline testing of rainwater, drinking water, vegetation and milk.
“This is not a new protocol, but a standard VDH response when routine monitoring indicates a need to test further,” the department wrote in Sunday’s press release.
The health department is also advising Virginians “out of an abundance of caution” to avoid drinking rainwater collected in cisterns.
