ALL but one of the provincial regions on the Chinese mainland detected radioactive iodine-131 yesterday, according to China's National Nuclear Emergency Coordination Committee.
Hebei Province detected both iodine-131 and caesium-134, while another 21 regions, including Shanghai, found iodine-131, caesium-137 and caesium-134 from the quake-damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Japan.
Only Guizhou Province returned negative readings.
The committee said the levels were much lower than the natural background and there was no need for extra protection.
Food and drinking water have been tested for contamination and found to be safe, according to the committee.
Officials from Shanghai Health Bureau yesterday said the city hasn't detected radioactive material in drinking water sources or food.
This follows news that iodine-131 was found in spinach in open farmland in Beijing, Tianjin and Henan. It is believed that recent rains brought the radioactive material to earth and on to the plants.
Shanghai officials said they will tighten inspections of vegetables.
