Radiation monitoring . Who does this ?
Jason McIntosh made this Official Information request to Health Quality and Safety Commission
Health Quality and Safety Commission did not have the information requested.
From: Jason McIntosh
Dear Health Quality and Safety Commission,
Due to the mainstream media silence over the Fukushima Disaster , as a 'thinking' citizen and consumer I am naturally terrified of its widespread health and environmental destruction .
My information request is as follows:
Who is monitoring the radiation levels in our air and fish stocks?
Is this monitoring actually occurring ?
Is the information obtained being suppressed for commercial reasons ?
If radiation levels aren't being monitored then my question is "why not ? "
Yours faithfully,
Jason McIntosh
