Question about radiation fallout

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-05] [Hit: ]
After I finished my doing my stuff, I came to the car and turned on the air conditioning.Do you think, the airplanes wouldve picked up radiation fallout from the wind currents, such as the jet stream?And then when the airplanes flew over my car,......
I'm sure you heard about the nuclear disaster that happened in Japan on March 11.

Well, on March 26, I went to Toronto to do my taxes. The building was not far from the Pearson Airport. When my car was parked, there were airplanes going right over my car. Really really close since the airport was not far away and they need to prepare to land.

After I finished my doing my stuff, I came to the car and turned on the air conditioning.

Do you think, the airplanes would've picked up radiation fallout from the wind currents, such as the jet stream? And then when the airplanes flew over my car, would it released any fallout on my car?

If that's possible, then could the radioactive dust released from the airplane go through the front of the car (grills) and find their way inside my car when I turn on the air conditioning?

Am I thinking too much(am I paranoid) OR is this something to be worried about?

-
Radiation naturally occurs in our environment (from the soil and from the materials used to make buildings and cars and roads). Any tiny bits of radiation that any airplanes may have picked up would be almost nothing.

-
If you are worried, go to your local hospital and ask how to get a radioactivity detector.

Most medical professionals wear one on their ID badges. It will alert you if you have recieved high doses of radiation.

You have NOTHING to worry about though. There are 200 people on the plane that are likely fine.

-
I think your being a bit too paranoid, even if enough radiation traveled by gulf streams reach Toronto they would have decayed enough to pose no threat.

-
Sorry Hi, I almost bit.

However, nobody smart enough to both pass a drivers test and have a job would need to ask such a question.

-
I'll go with option A--paranoid.

The levels of airborne radiation are really quite small.
