Since August 24, when Japan began discharging nuclear wastewater, more than 1,500 tons of nuclear sewage have been discharged, and it has begun to affect neighboring countries.
South Korea, which was the first to be affected, has already begun to boycott seafood in ChinaThis has led to a sharp decline in South Korea's aquaculture industry, triggering national ***
China prohibits the import of nuclear-contaminated seafood from Japan into China, but according to JapanThe style of doing things, theyAbsolutelyWe won't let our seafood rot in our country
Some scholars speculate that Japan's seafood may be sold to some EU countries at a low price, and then the origin label will be changed and exported to China.
Because after Japan's unconscionable move to announce the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea, some EU countries silently lifted the ban on Japanese seafood for more than 10 years!
At a sensitive time when Japan's nuclear-contaminated wastewater is being discharged into the sea, this move has raised questions, especially given the consistency of the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries in issuing repressive measures against China.
After the end of World War II, Japan's domestic economy suffered a huge blow, the people's lives were poor, the domestic industry withered, and faced problems such as low productivity, energy shortage, serious shortage of human resources, and imbalance in the domestic industrial structureThe marine economy is an important part of Japan's economy**. As a country famous for its seafood, Japan will never give up on seafood exports!
The marine ecosystem is a complex and fragile ecosystem, and after the nuclear wastewater is discharged into the oceanMarine organisms will be directly exposed to radioactive materials, causing distortion. Radioactive fallout from a nuclear accident can spread with precipitation and air, contaminating soil, water and the food chain. Radioactive materials can also have an impact on wildlife and ecosystems, disrupting the ecological balance and leading to the decline or even extinction of biological populations. These pollutants can persist in the environment for a long time and have a lasting impact on the ecosystem.
Radioactive materials released from nuclear reactor accidents, such as iodine-131, cesium-134 and cesium-137, can cause radiation damage to humans. It mainly enters the human body through polluted air and food, and long-term exposure to these substances will increase the incidence of cancer and mortality.
The accumulation of large doses of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland induces thyroid cancer. Children are the most susceptible. Although there are no data on whether radiation has an effect on reproductive function, it does have a strong teratogenic effect on neonates.
The radioactive element cesium-137 can be deposited in bonesAnd it can exist for up to 29 yearsIt eventually induces the occurrence of bone and surrounding tissue cancer, leukemia and circulatory system diseases. Low-dose radiation exposure to children and emergency workers can also trigger diseases such as cataracts.
On the one hand, we hope that the first department and the market supervision department will strengthen the supervision of seafood and imported food, strengthen the review of products, and ensure the consumer rights and health of the Chinese people. On the other hand, individual consumers should also pay attention to the origin of seafood and the labelling of seafood products, so as not to allow nuclear-contaminated food to be served on the table.
