Hong Kong detects minimum radioactive iodine-131 in the air on March 26 and 27, Hong Kong Observatory's Senior Scientific Officer Ma Wai Man said Tuesday.

But Ma told a press conference on Tuesday that "the detected amount of iodine-131 is very minimum, not high enough to be harmful".

Ma also added that since it takes time to assess the data, the Observatory did not announce the result until Tuesday.
