L.A. Times, Nov 19, 2014 (emphasis added): With radiation from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant still a concern, [the Segawa family] decided that keeping their children in Fukushima was too risky… In October, the couple had a fourth child, who was born prematurely [with] heart problems that… will require two surgeries. The couple can’t help but wonder whether being in Fukushima may have some connection. “It doesn’t feel good,” said Segawa… Radiation concerns in Fukushima… There is good reason for mothers to be worried about the local water supply, [Eihito Tsuboi of the nonprofit Fukushima Inochinomizu] said, because it is not screened for such radioactive particles as strontium… Many experts believe there is… cause for worry. A 2013 World Health Organization report predicted there would be an uptick of thyroid cancer, breast cancer and leukemia… Masamichi Nishio, honorary director of the Hokkaido Cancer Center, agreed, saying the government has not sufficiently warned the public… Toshihide Tsuda, a professor of epidemiology at Okayama University, said… he strongly agrees with Nishio. “I find it problematic the Japanese public hasn’t been properly informed by the government to this date because (low levels of radioactive particles) can trigger cancer,” he said.
