United Nations Organizations' Statement on Current Radiation Levels in Japan and Travel Advice
Radioactive material from the damaged Fukushima
Daiichi plant is gradually spreading outside Japan into the global atmosphere
but at extremely low concentrations that do not present health or transportation
safety hazards, according to the United Nations organizations closely monitoring
the situation.
Japanese authorities confirm that all airports in the country, with the
exception of Sendai which was affected by the tsunami of 11 March, continue to
operate normally for both international and domestic operations. Continuous
monitoring around these airports confirms that radiation levels are well within
safe limits from a health perspective.
For updates, travelers visiting Japan by air are advised to consult a dedicated
website established by the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau:
http://www.mlit.go.jp/koku/flyjapan_en/.
Japanese authorities also confirm that all international seaports not damaged by
the earthquake and tsunami are operating normally and that no health risk has
been detected around the ports, based on the results of measurements of
radiation levels by local governments.
Further information covering all aspects of the response of the Ministry of
Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, as well as information
regarding the radiation dose in Tokyo Bay can be found on the following
websites:

Screening for radiation of passengers arriving from Japan is currently
considered unnecessary at airports or seaports around the world.
The UN agencies involved in the monitoring process are the World Health
Organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the World Meteorological
Organization, the International Maritime Organization, the International Civil
Aviation Organization and the World Tourism Organization.
