Posted in: Radioactive cedar pollen detected in Fukushima See in context
If the cedar pollen gets absorbed by macrophages it may stay for a long time.Caesium 137 emits high energy gamma rays during decay via a Barium intermediary.Therefore local doses may be mich higher than stated.More research needs to be done, especially as the Japanese cedar pollen season is soon to begin. Some of the controversy about how penetrative pollen is relates to particle size....when a pollen grain hits water (moist lung membrane) it disintegrates into sub-micoronic particles...these may have very different properties to the parent pollen grain.
