I live in California and the past few days my eyes have been burning like snow blindness, but there is no snow and I don't have allergies. My grandma has also felt this way. Has any one else been experiencing this recently? Could it be radiation related?
Workers at a troubled Japanese nuclear power plant have discovered plutonium in the soil and several radioactive pools of water around the facility, confirming fears contaminated water is leaking out of damaged reactors into the nearby environment.
The discovery of plutonium-laden soil was announced Monday after tests results on samples taken a week ago were made public.
Radiation in the pools was measured at 1,000 millisieverts per hour, a level high enough to cause temporary radiation sickness.
The tunnel ends just over 50 metres from the shore of the Pacific Ocean, fuelling fears it could seep in to the ocean waters surrounding the plant.

The Japanese Government Has Now Asked That All Water Purification Plants
Stop Taking Rainwater Into Their Water Supply.
Japan's health ministry has asked water purification plants nationwide to stop taking in rainwater and cover pools with tarpaulins to shield them from radiation from a crippled nuclear plant.
The capital Tokyo and several nearby municipalities last week said they had detected radioactive iodine-138 levels that made their tap water unsafe for infants, although the contamination has dropped off since.
The health ministry warned at the weekend that fresh rainfall could capture radioactive elements that have escaped from the stricken Fukushima plant, and channel them via rivers and dams into drinking water supplies.www.pakistantimes.net...

i'd venture to say the greasy grey substance is from the debris from the tsunami not so much the radiation...maybe I'm wrong but I dont recall hearing about radiation making greasy grey substences. Also, the article talks about a bacterial disease in the sealife not so much radiation again.
