Correlation between incidence rates for influenza and norovirus infection and soil radiation

Season 2006–2007 2007–2008 2009–2010
Influenza 0·84** 0·61** 0·66**
Season 2006–2007 2007–2008 2008–2009
Norovirus 0·61** 0·72** 0·71**

** P < 0·01

Pearson's correlation coefficients are shown for the fluctuating averages of the incidence rates for each dose (rounded to units of 0·01 μGy/h) of soil radiation (<0·15 μGy/h) in Japan.
