S. Korea finds trace levels of radioactive particles in air
Traces of radioactive materials have been discovered across South Korea due to the inflow of contaminants from Japan's stricken nuclear power station, a state nuclear safety body said Saturday.

The Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety confirmed diminishing traces of iodine-131, cesium-137 and cesium-134 have been detected by the country's 12 detection centers.

It, however, stressed that concentration levels posed no real health threats to humans and would not impact the environment
