Health Ministry Sets Radioisotope Limits
The Ministry of Health has issued a new regulation setting limits on the concentration of radioactive isotopes in food, drinking water, and animal feed. The aim is to regulate the permissible levels of radioactive activity and strengthen monitoring of both local and imported products. The regulation states that the maximum permissible concentration of radioactive isotopes in drinking water is 0.5 becquerels per liter for alpha-emitting isotopes and 1 becquerel per liter for beta-emitting isotopes, with the exception of potassium-40. It also specifies a maximum total activity of 300 becquerels per kilogram for unnatural radioactive isotopes in animal feed and emphasizes the need for regulatory measures if these limits are exceeded.
