Abstract: Objective To investigate the radiological contamination of body surface for inbound people from Japan to China during Fukushima nuclear accident.Methods According to The guidance for radiological contamination management for body surface issued by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention,for people evacuated from Japan,the body surface monitoring of radiological contamination was performed by the related agencies in main provinces and cities in China. The monitoring data were collected,analyzed and reported to Ministry of Health.Results A total of 432 persons were checked.The monitoring results of 429 cases were close to the background level,while those of three persons were higher than the background level.Conclusions In general,the detected results were as low as the background level.The radiological contamination monitoring of body surface for people from Japan could provide scientific data to relax the horror and panic among them.
