Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has launched the fifth round of Fukushima nuclear sewage discharge plan, which is expected to last until May 7, discharging a total of 7,800 tons of nuclear wastewater
The Fukushima nuclear contaminated water contains more than 60 radionuclides, including tritium, carbon-14, iodine-129, etc., many of which have no effective treatment technology, and these radionuclides pose a great potential threat to marine ecology and human health
Friends who like to eat seafood should pay attention, especially when eating the following kinds of seafood, you should pay more attention!
Maybe the seafood has been contaminated with radioactive elements!
The first oyster
Oysters are a favorite food of many friends, and in many regions, they are also known as oysters
Oysters are soft and tender, with a smooth taste and outstanding umami, and oysters also have high nutritional value, which can enhance immunity and purify blood congestion, nourishing and aphrodisiac
You will often see oysters on small vendors, and oysters are known as men's gas stations and women's beauty salons
Oysters generally grow in tropical coastal or subtropical areas, but there is a difference between Japanese oysters and mainland oysters. Japanese oysters are Asian oysters that can reach up to 20 cm in length, which is even larger than the palm of a human hand
Japanese oysters are not plump and soft to eat, and are usually eaten raw with lemon juice or vinegar. However, you should be careful not to eat oysters imported from Japan
The mainland has a vast sea area. Oysters are also produced in many places, such as Zhanjiang oysters, which are famous for their sweet taste and fatty meat, while Nanao oysters are loved by consumers for their unique climate, wide range of sea areas and high yield
The second salmon
Japanese people are especially fond of salmon, and it is also an ingredient that can often be found in Japanese restaurants, such as in supermarkets and sushi restaurants, salmon fillets are often used as the main ingredient to make salmon sashimi, salmon sushi, and so on
For many friends in the mainland, they can hardly see the whole salmon, so they don't know what it looks like, and the salmon meat is orange in color. There are stripes of white stripes between the flesh
The main way to eat salmon is to eat the raw fish slices and dip it directly in the sauce and sauce, which can maximize the deliciousness of the ingredients. But for Chinese who are not used to eating raw, try to pay attention to it. Try to eat less of this food
In January 2024, there was also a mass poisoning of salmon due to food contamination in Fukushima, when a total of 101 people suffered from vomiting and diarrhea due to raw food problems
A suspicious batch of Norwegian salmon was also found during the inspection of imported aquatic products by mainland customs, but after preliminary nuclear radiation testing, they did not pass the verification, but instead aroused suspicion about this batch of salmon
After several inspections, it was found that the salmon had serious nuclear contamination, far exceeding the national standards on the mainland
It is mixed with a small number of salmon that are more preferred. Obviously, this batch of fish is trying to get by in the way of mixing the advantages and disadvantages of real and fake. But fortunately, the customs uncovered their ruse and refused to release the approval
The third sardine
Sardines appear relatively rarely on the table of Chinese, and they mainly grow in the vicinity of Spain, the Mediterranean, Portugal, France, and the United Kingdom
For example, in the mainland, there is some production in the waters near Shandong, which is relatively close to Japan, but because the production is low, it is not the main seafood species on the mainland
Many friends like the taste of sardines, and here is also a reminder to everyone, when you go out or cook by yourself, try not to buy sardines
Friends who study abroad should pay more attention, because sardines reproduce quickly and have a high protein content. Therefore, in many places overseas, it is made into canned sardines, which become a meal on the table of foreigners, just like the pickled vegetables or fermented bean curd we buy in the supermarket.
But this group of sardines may also be affected by nuclear elements, so everyone should try to pay attention to it as much as possible!
The fourth saury
Saury is a very famous dish in Japan. It is mainly found off Hokkaido, Japan, and in the Pacific Ocean in the northwest, while in mainland waters, saury is rarely seen, and this fish looks like a hairtail, but it is not a species
Most of the saury you see in the market are imported from Japan, and now, almost all of the fresh saury caught is contaminated with nuclear wastewater, and although there is no major change on the surface, the subtle toxins are invisible to the human eye
If you eat some toxins in your body or make your body uncomfortable just to satisfy your appetite for a moment, it will really outweigh the losses
The fifth scallop
Japan exports a large number of scallops to China every year, and in 2022 it topped the list of all categories with 48.9 billion yen
In addition to being used in the domestic market, some of the scallops exported from Japan to China are processed before being exported. For example, it is sold to South Korea, the United States and other places
In August 2023, China announced that it would suspend imports of Japanese seafood after the official implementation of Japan's plan to discharge water into the sea, and due to this policy, China's seafood exports in Japan also fell to third place. Among them, the export volume of scallops has directly and substantially declined
However, the area contaminated by the nuclear sewage is very large, and in addition to the scallops salvaged from Japan, the scallops in the waters near the mainland may also be contaminated with nuclear elements
Therefore, for the sake of your own body, you should pay more attention and try to avoid eating this kind of seafood
Japan's nuclear sewage
According to relevant data, in 2024, Japan's cumulative discharge and sewage will reach 54,600 tons, an increase of 15,000 tons compared with 2023!
Experts estimate that the total amount of nuclides discharged into the sea by Japan has basically reached the standard for low-yield tactical nuclear explosions
Tsinghua University has also conducted simulated experiments on the diffusion process of nuclear wastewater, and the radioactive materials in the nuclear sewage will reach the southeast coastal area of the mainland 240 days after discharge, and gradually spread to the east and the Bohai Bay
The world's seas may be affected by nuclear pollution, which will pose a serious threat to the marine ecology and public health of the mainland!
However, there is no need to be particularly alarmed about the discharge of nuclear wastewater!
The national government has standards for seafood imported from Japan, and testing equipment is installed in the corresponding sea area, after all, it is very important to protect the health and safety of the people. Such food cannot be allowed to enter the Chinese market and serve on the table of Chinese
