Is it safe to travel on public transport in London ?
On the basis of the monitoring results received so far from a number of locations in London as part of the on-going Po-210 investigations, the Health Protection Agency can reassure members of the public that the risk of having been exposed to Po-210 remains low. In the limited public areas where contamination has been found, this has been in small spots, where it is fixed and not easily transferred to hands or clothes. Therefore all the monitoring data indicates that if a person contaminated with Po-210 travelled on public transport the low transmissibility and the short amount of time someone would spend on public transport, there is no cause for public health concern.
