According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, examples of exposure level of radiation in daily life is as below. - Chest X-ray (once) 0.05 mSv - 1 roundtrip between Tokyo and New York by air 0.2 mSv - Stomach X-ray (once) 0.6 mSv According to the WHO, a person is exposed to approximately 3.0mSv/year on average.

Sample is collected from surface of the sea Detected, Less than Detectable mean the value below detection limit. Not Detected limit The figure in parenthesis below ND(Not Detected) indicates detection limit level.
Reference Standard value under the Food Sanitation Act of Japan (enforced on April 1st, 2012) is shown as follows; - Drinking water; under 10Bq (becquerel) /1kg water Bq (becquerel) is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material. The sum total of target radioactive materials (Cesium 134, Cesium 137, Strontium 90, Plutonium, Ruthenium 106).
