•118 samples were analyzed using HPGe γ spectrometry.•Trace amount of 131I was detected in rain and surface soil samples.•No 131I was detected in milk, drinking water, seawater or marine biota samples.•Result indicate it pose no threat to public health.
A total of 118 samples were analyzed using HPGe γ-spectrometry. 131I, 134Cs, 137Cs and 136Cs were detected in aerosol air samples that were collected 22 days after the accident with values of 1720 µBq m−³, 247 µBq m−³, 289 µBq m−³ and 23 µBq m−³, respectively. 131I was detected in rainwater and soil samples and was also measurable in vegetables collected between April 2 and 13, 2011, with values ranging from 0.55 Bq kg−1 to 2.68 Bq kg−1. No 131I was detected in milk, drinking water, seawater or marine biota samples.
