Beijing (CNS) – The recent nuclear test by North Korea has not affected China's environment or public health, and radiation levels remain normal, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) on Tuesday.

The CCDC said it sent a crew to northeast China's Jilin Province on February 12. The crew has since carried out risk assessment work, testing for radioactive contamination in drinking water and food supplies at border areas.

During Spring Festival, two working groups collected 39 types of samples and took measurements from 20 survey sites. The samples showed no abnormalities and there has been no impact on public health, the center said.

The CCDC said it would continue to monitor the area.
