READ MORE: Radiation spreads as crisis likely to continue for "a long time": "Low levels of radioactive material iodine-131 were detected Saturday in Heilongjiang Province, north of Beijing, China's National Nuclear Emergency Coordination Committee said.
The radioactive material was likely to have come from the tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, the agency said.
However, since the radiation level was below one-hundred-thousandth of the average natural background radiation, it did not pose a risk to public health or the environment, and no protective measures were required, the agency said in a statement."
