Comment on Plutonium levels at nuclear test site in WA up to 4,500 times higher than rest of coast, study finds

showed concentrations of plutonium at the islands were fourto 4,500 times higher than those found in sediment samples taken at two distant coastal sites

Emphasis mine.

Not saying this isn’t a big problem, but the article seems like it’s fearmongering too, or at least not providing enough specifics. 4-4,500 times higher than almost zero is still extremely low, and it’s only dangerous if inhaled.
