FIGURE FUK 3 Airborne activity observed in Seattle for radioactive isotopes of iodine, tel lurium, and cesium in millibecquerels per cubic meter. As a reference, the average human Fukushima Figure 3_f03.eps body is exposed to 4,400 becquerels from the decay of potassium-40, a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of potassium.
