As the process of nuclear wastewater discharge intensifies, a number of experts have also reminded the Japanese government that the discharge of nuclear wastewater will have huge risks and impacts on the society and economy of all countries in the world, and Japan's neighboring countries and even countries around the world are concerned about this issue, among which whether the toxicity of seafood has raised the issue of food safety and whether aquatic products will also be contaminated by nuclear wastewater.
"Fukushima nuclear wastewater" has once again become a hot search on the whole network, and the Japanese government has never detailed some information about the foreign country of the mainland country, and there are various speculations about how harmful the "Fukushima nuclear wastewater" is to human health.
There are also many people who worry about whether Japanese seafood will be contaminated by nuclear wastewater, and the food we eat and drink every day will be completely absorbed by our body, and people are worried that "poisonous sea fish" will appear on the table after the nuclear wastewater is discharged.
However, the mainland will not be directly polluted by Fukushima nuclear wastewater, but this risk still needs to attract the attention of the whole society, so we must keep our eyes open and take precautions.
Effects on human health
On March 11, 2011, the Japanese government caused a radiation leak at the Fukushima nuclear power plant due to a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima, Tohoku.
At that time, the county government urgently launched the "Fuju Project" to temporarily evacuate 30,000 households, and many residents were completely unable to return to their homes.
On the 30th, the Japanese government announced that it would discharge nuclear wastewater directly into the sea from April 2023.
This decision has aroused widespread public concern and opposition from countries around the world, and many people have a peaceful heart about the dangers of Fukushima nuclear waste, but it is not included in the scope of food safety.
According to expert research, the nuclear wastewater contamination will not have an impact on the surrounding mainland countries, but given the long-term after-effects of the Fukushima nuclear leak, it will still affect the fishery resources and fishing products in the surrounding waters, and everyone still needs to pay attention.
In 2017, China contributed 450 million tons of fishery resources to the world, which is the conservation and protection of fishery resources.
In addition, if the pollution of nuclear wastewater is not restricted, it will have a devastating impact on the entire marine ecological environment, and may lead to a large number of aquatic products and seafood and other foods that are otherwise easily contaminated, then people's consumption of nuclear wastewater pollution will be harmful and affected.
There are also young people who have an unreasonable diet, often eat too much cheaper rice, and do not eat expensive vegetables and meat, not only because the economy is not enough, but it is more troublesome to cook, and they do not have the good skills of the chef.
In this way of eating, for a long time, the human body will stay in a state, lack of fatty acid supplementation and partial eating, the body's nutrition and structure are not balanced, and the elimination of some harmful radioactive substances in the body is also greatly reduced, which is prone to malnutrition and functional decline.
Long-term consumption of contaminated aquatic products will accumulate radioactive elements in the liver, kidneys, brain tissues and other organs of the human body, causing chronic diseases or malignant tumors.
Radioactive substances can damage the body's genetic material and the metabolic processes of cells, exposing the human body to a high risk of carcinogenesis.
Discharge nuclear wastewater, these five species of fish will pay attention in the future!
From the point of view of the characteristics of radioactive materials, after the release of nuclear wastewater, it is not only the sea that is affected, but also the aquatic products living in the sea, especially some top animals, as we all know, the top animals of the food chain consume more organic matter, followed by the middle link of the food chain, and other biological nutrition and energy, so the top animals of the food chain are more susceptible to nuclear wastewater pollution.
Most of the aquatic products are active at the bottom of the water body, so the impact on the human body is greater, and for human consumption, we will still introduce some, of course, you can also refer to the suggestions and methods of other countries and regions.
So don't be careless, these five kinds of fish are better to eat less, they are likely to be affected by nuclear wastewater, most of them are marine fish, because their spawning place is in the sea area, nuclear wastewater is most likely to cause harm to seafood.
Octopus
Cephalopods, mainly found in the South China Sea, are the middle of the marine food chain, not only susceptible to pollution, but also have a stronger absorption function of their own, but cephalopods are also under a lot of pressure due to frequent water currents and climate fluctuations.
After the nuclear wastewater is discharged, it will be more affected, not only because they are likely to be contaminated by radioactivity, which will have a negative impact on everyone's health, but also because the nuclear wastewater may cause changes in the marine environment and affect their spawning grounds, which will endanger their growth and reproduction.
Shrimp
As we all know, they are often the food of other organisms, so the unstable ecological environment will also affect them, a series of biological chain invasions, and nuclear waste may destroy their spawning grounds and their absorption function, so everyone must check more when buying shrimp.
eel
They are very long and have a strong ability to hunt and reproduce, but their spawning grounds may be threatened due to the discharge of nuclear wastewater, and it will become more difficult to reproduce in a stable environment, so according to the Ocean Conservancy's recommendations, do not eat too many eels each year.
tuna
Tuna is a fish that people love very much, but there are also dangers, because their bodies are well grown, they are easily absorbed by radioactive materials, and they pose a greater threat to the human body.
Saury
Saury can easily eat fish that are affected by radioactive materials because they are easily affected, so everyone must check and observe more when buying to avoid buying affected fish.
So don't be careless, these five kinds of fish are better to eat less, they are likely to be affected by nuclear wastewater, most of them are marine fish, because their spawning place is in the sea, nuclear wastewater is most likely to affect seafood.
3. Measures to respond
Aquatic products are indispensable ingredients on everyone's table, so don't be careless, choose more distinctive aquatic products, so how should we prevent the impact of nuclear wastewater discharge on the sea, and how do we enter the table?
The major policy issued by the "Fukushima Nuclear Wastewater" has also begun to monitor the eating method of aquatic products discharged from nuclear wastewater from both the overall and local aspects, vigorously promote the work of food recycling, and moderately reduce the phenomenon of partial eating caused by fish and other animal hazards.
At the same time, aquatic products will often be monitored with the surrounding environment, and the fish production section will also choose a safer growing environment, and there will be more safety articles and videos about these equipment and people's health, so that people can understand that what they eat is not safe food, or how to eat food to stay safe.
The author believes that these fish species are at high risk of being contaminated by nuclear wastewater, and that people must be cautious when buying fish products, and it is better to give up and eat other seafood, which should be encouraged.
For people who want to eat aquatic products, eel can be eaten by everyone, for nuclear wastewater contaminated may be a niche species, nuclear wastewater contaminated aquatic products is definitely risky, but everyone must look at food safety information.
Although the Japanese government explains that the discharge of nuclear wastewater is in a safe location, it will choose a feasible and safe place for the discharge of nuclear wastewater, and use scientific technology to detect and monitor the nuclear wastewater, so as to minimize the impact of the discharge on the environment and the impact on the family and body.
But as we all know, as we all know, scientists have not yet found a safe way to deal with this nuclear wastewater, so we should still be highly vigilant, the matter of radioactive materials is that once it has a problem, it is difficult to recycle, cautious diet, is a response and suggestion for everyone to the problem of nuclear wastewater discharge.
