"The risks associated with iodine-131 contamination in Europe are no longer
"negligible," according to CRIIRAD, a French research body on radioactivity. The
NGO is advising pregnant women and infants against "risky behaviour," such as
consuming fresh milk or vegetables with large leaves.

In response to thousands of inquiries from citizens concerned about fallout from
the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Europe, CRIIRAD has compiled an information
package on the risks of radioactive iodine-131 contamination in Europe.

The document, published on 7 April, advises against consuming rainwater and says
vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant or breastfeeding women should
avoid consuming vegetables with large leaves, fresh milk and creamy cheese."
