The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority of Finland detected radioactive substances in the air in the capital Helsinki. These quantities, though so small they have no impact on human health, were abnormal enough to report. They included MN54, CO60, and CS134 and CS137. As a rare occurrence, the Authority will continue to monitor and investigate the source of the contamination.
