dc.descriptionScientists call for stronger policy and local testing capabilities after detecting higher concentrations of the nuclear substance iodine-129 in the West Philippines Sea (WPS). “We currently have no regulatory body to monitor radioactivity in seawater. If the government decides to act, we need a routine sampling system,” Dr. Angel Bautista VII, scientist at the Department of Science and Technology’s Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) told BusinessMirror, partly in Filipino, in an online interview.en
