Sales of spinach in the capital remain stable after radioactive substances were detected here, while vegetables sampled in Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces were found to be contaminated with radioactive iodine-131 on Thursday.

Yang Pan, manager of the Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market in the Fengtai district of Beijing, which is the largest in the capital, said spinach sales have not been affected by reports that iodine-131 was detected in domestically grown spinach.

Yang said there have been no signs of panic or anxiety among customers, including both bulk buyers and individuals.

In Beijing's Chaoyang district, vegetable sellers said spinach sales have been stable.

Wang Yuxia, a resident in the district, said the recent detection of radioactivity does not concern her much.

"There is no need to make a big fuss over it," she said. "Exposure to radioactive materials has been a problem around us for a long time. Now people are just starting to pay attention."
