It is difficult to convert becquerels to sieverts, a unit indicating the degree of harm to the human body, because there are too many variables.
The Asahi Shimbun reported Tuesday that an adult could get a dose of 3.9 millisieverts by eating 200 grams of meat with 3,400 becquerels per kg every day for a year.
A dose of 100 millisieverts is believed to increase the chance of death by cancer by 0.5 percent.
