There’s no health implications for Island residents, despite traces of radiation from the Fukushima disaster being found in our rainwater.
That reassurance from the senior scientist at the Manx government laboratory, Dr Paul McKenna.

However, Dr McKenna insists the fallout here is of no concern to human health or the environment.
