In not only the Fukushima prefecture but also the distantly remote metropolitan area, environmental pollution caused by the radioactivity occurs.From May, 2011, the news about the environmental pollution with the radioactive material was accomplished in the metropolitan area. The measurement of the radioactivity in schools and parks were demanded from inhabitants for local governments.
