(RTTNews) - The Naoto Kan government in Japan has come under increasing pressure to launch a full-scale inquiry into the fall-out of Fukushima nuclear disaster on women and children following detection of small amounts of radioactive iodine in the breast milk of four lactating women, reports said on Thursday.

It was in the wake of tests carried out on breast milk samples collected from nine women living north or northeast of the capital, Tokyo, that the matter came to light. snip

Currently, there are no safety standards for radioactive substances in breast milk as laid down by Japan's Nuclear Safety Commission. The findings revealed in a study conducted by a Japanese civic group has led to mounting concerns over the impact of radiation contamination on women and children.
