RADIOACTIVE Food - NOW Growing in CALIFORNIA
Radioactive Isotopes discovered in TOPSOIL, GRASS, SPINACH, STRAWBERRIES, CILANTRO, KALE and ARGULA and WILD MUSHROOMS in Alameda, California

In the tables below, we are providing two numbers for each of the isotopes. The first is a standard concentration unit of Becquerel per kilogram (Bq/kg) which is the number of particles decaying per second in each kilogram of the sample. The number in parentheses after the activity is the number of kilograms that one would need to consume to equal the radiation exposure of a single round trip flight from San Francisco to Washington D.C. (0.05 mSv). For more information on how this equivalent dose is calculated, the details are here: How Effective Dose is Calculated
The experimental setup used for the food testing is the same setup used for the Rainwater Collection Experiment.
