中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
“阳了”之后要正确喝水 否则可能喝出低钠血症危及生命****** 在这波疫情中，“多喝热水”似乎成为一种“共识”，很多感染新冠病毒的人往往会伴有发热、咳嗽、咽喉干痒肿痛等情况，于是床头常备一大壶水。不少人在“阳康”后更是止不住用喝水来缓解身体虚弱出汗而缺水的情况。殊不知，水也不能随便乱喝。在浙江大学医学院附属第一医院（以下简称“浙大一院”）急诊科，有些人就因为“喝错水”，喝出低钠血症。 65岁、22岁都中招 喝水喝不对也会惹“病”上身 65岁的李大伯没有基础疾病，上个月感染新冠病毒，“阳了”之后全身酸痛，发烧至39℃。李大伯治疗常见小病小痛的“法宝”就是多喝开水，在吃了退烧药后，他一边出汗一边大量喝水，每天要喝两大水瓶的水，循环往复。 成功退烧之后，老伴却发现李大伯不对劲——他头昏沉沉，伴有恶心、呕吐，于是紧急将他送往浙大一院急诊科。经过专家检查，李大伯血液中的钠离子含量为122毫摩尔/升（正常值在137—147毫摩尔/升），李大伯的种种症状正是由于患了严重的低钠血症造成的。经过对症治疗，近日他痊愈出院。 22岁的杭州小伙家明（化名）平时身体不错、很少生病，这次“阳了”之后，一直发烧至38.5℃退不下去。发烧后，由于没有食欲，家明基本上除了吃药就是喝白开水，捂出一身汗后再继续喝水。结果他强撑了三四天，就出现了全身乏力、嗜睡、手抖及精神恍惚等症状。“送医前，他腿部和上臂的肌肉也异常紧绷，真是吓死人了！”女朋友将家明送到浙大一院后，他同样被诊断为“低钠血症”。 高度重视低钠血症 少量多次科学饮水 “这几天，因低钠血症前来就医的急诊患者有不少！我们有必要和大家做个提醒。”浙大一院急诊科主任陆远强主任医师介绍，有些患者因无法饮食、连续呕吐导致钠离子大量丢失、无法正常摄入，血钠浓度在110毫摩尔/升以下，需紧急进行输液补钠；有些则是过量饮水造成的低钠血症。 正常情况下，人体细胞被钠和水平衡的溶液所包围，细胞内和细胞外保持着平衡。但当人喝太多白开水时，肾脏每天只能从血液中排出约800至1000毫升的水，多余的水就会滞留在血管里。细胞外的钠浓度被稀释了，细胞内外形成梯度差，细胞外的水分就会进入到细胞里，这会导致细胞水肿膨胀，就会引起血浆渗透压下降和循环血量增多，医学上称为稀释性低钠血症，俗称“水中毒”。另外，过量饮水还会对青光眼、慢性肾病、心脏病、胃溃疡等患者带来健康威胁。 专家建议，新冠病毒感染的普通型或康复期患者要保证充足饮水量，每天1500—2000毫升。喝水的最佳方式是少量多次，小口慢饮，每次200毫升左右，不建议一次喝500毫升以上，也可根据个人情况，调整为蜂蜜水、淡盐水、椰子水、柠檬水等。（记者 柯静 通讯员 王蕊 江晨） kk彩票地图 |
