东京市政府警告：自来水受到辐射污染 Tokyo’s municipal government sparked a run on bottled water after warning that the city’s water supply had become contaminated with radiation, widening concerns about the impact on Japan’s food supplies from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. 　　东京市政府警告称，该市自来水已受到辐射污染。此言引发东京市民抢购瓶装水，并使人们更加担心福岛核电站危机对日本食品供应的影响。 　　Municipal officials said levels of iodine-131 measured at Tokyo’s water purifican plant had risen to 210 becquerels per kilogramme on Wednesday, more than twice Japan’s 100 bq/kg recommended limit for infants. The adult recommended limit is 300bq/kg. 　　市政府官员表示，周三东京都的净水厂检测到碘131，浓度为每公斤210贝克勒尔，是日本为婴儿设定的安全饮用上限每公斤100贝克勒尔的两倍以上。成年人的安全饮用上限是每公斤300贝克勒尔。 　　Health officials played down the potential health risks from the contamination. Japan’s guidelines for iodine-131 in water are far tighter than the internationally agreed “operational intervention levels” for the substance, which put permissible levels at up to 3,000bq/kg, according to the World Health Organisation. CLIVE CHECKING WHAT IT IS FOR INFANTS 　　卫生官员表示，这种污染的潜在健康风险并不大。日本对自来水中碘131含量的指导原则，比国际间就这种物质商定的“操作干预水平”严格得多。根据世界卫生组织(WHO)的数据，可容许的浓度最高达到每公斤3000贝克勒尔。 　“Iodine-131 is not a significant source of radiation because of its low specific activity,” the WHO said in a report on Japan’s nuclear crisis earlier this week. 　　“碘131由于比活度较低，因此并不是一个重大的辐射源，”世卫组织本周早些时候在一份有关日本核危机的报告中表示。 　　Still, some consumers were unsettled by the water warning. The National Azabu supermarket in Hiroo said bottled water sold out within an hour of the news. “It’s gone, just gone, it all sold out so quickly?.?.?.?people seem to be very scared,” a supermarket official said. 　　 不过，一些消费者还是对有关自来水的警告感到不安。位于东京広尾(Hiroo)的National Azabu超市表示，这条新闻发布后，瓶装水在1小时内就售罄。“卖完了，就这么卖完了，这么快就全部卖光……人们看上去很害怕，”一名超市负责人表示。 　　Some citizens were more relaxed. Yuji Sanada, a waiter at a restaurant in central Tokyo, said he hoped the warning would not lead to shortages of bottled water that could affect consumers in Japan’s tsunami-ravaged north-east, where many hous
