At 1 p.m. on August 24, 2023, Japan** forcibly started the discharge of water contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident despite strong opposition from the international community. This decision has far-reaching implications not only for Japan, but also for the global environment, food security, and human health.
The discharge of a large amount of nuclear sewage will cause serious damage to the marine ecology. Radioactive materials will affect marine life for a long time, potentially leading to genetic mutations, population decline, and even extinction. In addition, the chemicals in nuclear wastewater may also have toxic effects on marine life and disrupt the marine ecological balance.
The ocean is an important part of the global food chain, from marine fish to sea salt to seaweed and other seafoods. However, radioactive materials in the wastewater can accumulate in these seafood and then enter the human body through the food chain. This not only poses a threat to the health of local populations, but may also have an impact on global food security.
Long-term exposure to low doses of radioactive materials has been shown to increase the risk of diseases such as cancer. However, the types of radioactive materials contained in the Fukushima nuclear wastewater are complex, and its long-term effects are difficult to achieve**. In addition, the chemicals in the nuclear sewage may also cause effects on human health, such as causing irritation, respiratory problems, etc.
As a member of the international community, Japan has a responsibility to take all necessary measures to ensure that its actions do not have a negative impact on the people and environment of other countries. However, this decision by Japan** is clearly contrary to its international responsibilities and moral obligations.
The discharge of Fukushima nuclear sewage is not only a national decision, it is related to the health and survival of all mankind. We call on all countries** and international organizations to strengthen cooperation, take effective measures to prevent further discharge of nuclear wastewater, and ensure that Japan** is responsible for its actions and bears the consequences it deserves. At the same time, we should also strengthen nuclear safety supervision and improve our ability to respond to nuclear accidents to protect our planet.
