In the most contaminated area for international organizations there would also be a seven percent higher relative risk of leukemia in young males exposed and six of breast cancer for females, then four other cancers in girls, but in the rest of Japan the percentage increased risk would be negligible. - [A fish with high level of radiation has been caught in a port near the Fukushima plant]. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 01, 2013 n°: 2147 Toxic fumes in a disco in Brazil Would be at least two hundred thirty-three boys the provisional balance of the victims of a fire at a nightclub in Santa Maria, in the state Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil because of the toxic fumes that are emitted probably from absorbing material on the ceiling following the launch some fireworks at the end of a musical performance.
