ANY FILTER will be better than NO FILTER!
Remember, when it comes to fallout, either you have a filter, or YOU ARE the filter!

I hope we aren't really the first people to think about this... It is funny that we have thought of it, yet the people who run the world didn't do this the day it happened... Sad.

Actually, even paper stops most of radiation. Breathing through wet cloth is very efficient way, you don't need gas mask. If you are worrying in US about radiation coming from Japan, remember that Pacific Ocean stops radiation too, particles get trapped by water when it evaporates and then rains down.

sorry too burst your bubble's,,,
ask the Japanese University outside of Fucu,,physics department ,, too STOP CREATING A MAGNETIC FIELD,,,
around the power plants,,
i said,,,,,,,,,,STOP CREATING A MAGNETIC FIELD,,,around an uncontroled,,ongoing Fussion reaction.
other words,, there already attempting it ,,as i type.
sorry.

Yeah no big deal till it ends up in our ground soil and then into our food supply

It’s a measure of how “duh” people are about science & logic generally that they would consider putting these filters all over the world, rather them all at than one place where they would be literally thousands of times most effective (Fukushima itself).
Carbon filters, and electrostatic filter is what you want. It could be done, but the risk today’s Fukushima radiation leaks presents is microscopic, apparently we’re all going to die but…
A. This isn’t a new story on ATS
B. Chernobyl was far worse in terms of total radiation released, and we’re still alive
C. Sea water absorbs radiation far better than soil
D. And most of Fukushima’s nuclides are landing out at sea
E. So even if Fukushima was as bad as Chernobyl, the fact is (for everyone living outside Japan) it’s location is even more remote.
It’s true that if the fuel rod pools collapse, then we’ll be in major trouble. Thankfully they’ve already been getting them reinforced, and oh…
Haven’t heard of any Fukushima plant workers deaths yet.
