From Yonhap News:
Traces of radioactive iodine have been detected in Seoul following the nuclear crisis in quake-stricken Japan, a state-run nuclear safety agency said Tuesday.
The Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) said that it started to analyze materials taken from the air in 12 places across the nation Monday and detected traces of radioactive iodine-131 in Seoul.
The amount, however, is so small that it does not pose any immediate risks to public health or the environment, the KINS said.
The detection came a day after KINS said it had discovered traces of radioactive xenon-133 in the northeastern part of South Korea.
