世卫组织：日本核泄漏引起的食品污染十分严重

日内瓦 -世界卫生组织（World Health Organization，简称WHO）官员周一表示：由地震和海啸破坏了日本的核电厂，造成的食品的产品被放射源污染可能比原先估计更为严重。

上周，世卫组织曾表示，如果有任何放射性污染，它只会在灾区内的福岛核电站工厂30公里半径范围内的农产品。但是，最近的报告表明，核泄漏引起的食品污染地域可能更加宽广。

一位官员告诉德国新闻社政治部：  “自上周以来，我们也发现越来越多的证据表明核污染变得越来越严重 “。  “我认为这是严重的，但严重的程度结果如何尚需继续观察“。

这位官员补充说，在世卫组织日内瓦总部一个专家小组已经聚会，商讨确定（核泄漏）局势的进展程度。

WHO: Food contamination by Japan nuclear plant a 'serious' concern

Geneva - Contamination of food products by radiation from an earthquake and tsunami-damaged nuclear plant in Japan may be more serious than originally thought, a World Health Organization official said Monday.

Last week, the WHO had said that if there was any contamination, it would only be in agricultural products from within a 30-kilometre radius of the stricken Fukushima plant. But recent reports indicate the problem might be more widespread.

"This is something we are finding out about more and more. Things have certainly moved on since last week," a WHO official told the German Press Agency dpa.

"I think it is serious, but how serious remains to be seem," the official said, adding that a team of experts was meeting at WHO headquarters in Geneva to determine the extent of the situation.
