Inspections conducted by specialists of the Volyn Regional Sanitary and Epidemiological Station have confirmed that in recent days blueberries have appeared on the region's markets whose level of radioactive contamination significantly exceeds permissible norms, the Western Information Corporation was told at the Volyn Regional Sanitary and Epidemiological Station. \n \nResearch conducted by specialists of the regional sanitary and epidemiological station has confirmed: blueberries from Rivne and Zhytomyr regions are being brought to the region's markets en masse. The radiation level in the berries in some places exceeds permissible norms several times over. This gives grounds to assert that they were brought from areas radioactively contaminated as a result of the Chornobyl disaster. \n \nAccording to data from specialists of the radiation department of the regional SES, the dangerous berries have such a high radionuclide content that they can cause cancer in their consumers. \n \nIn view of this, the regional SES advises demanding from berry sellers certificates of the product's ecological purity, or else having the purchased products examined in the radiological laboratory of the sanitary and epidemiological station. Such a service is free for consumers. \n
