“River Contamination” by NHK Special

They said that radioactive Cesium in the river water was less than 1.0-2.1Bq/kg(L ),  but what about Strontium90???  While Cesium vaporizes easily and moves far away, Str90(Strontium90) dissolves in water easily.  Therefore you find it more in rivers, ponds, lakes and in sea water.  This is worrying because once our water source is contaminated, then all living things are affected.   Yet no food authorities checks amount of Str90.  It is 300 times more radioactively toxic than Cesium because while cesium can be out of body in 100 days, much of Str90 stays in bones of the body.  The risk of bone cancer and leukemia increase with increased exposure to Strotium90.  (Its half life is 28.8 years.)
