Health newspaper: The long-term influence of nuclear radiation can't be ignored
A field collated ' Scholar) Japan is thick to grow to work in the province and announce a few days ago, the radioactive material detected in 11 kinds of vegetables such as cabbage which Fukushima county produces, cauliflower,etc. exceeds the tentative basis presumed in Japan " food hygiene law " greatly. Province call upon people eat these vegetables temporarily already at present. In addition including Tokyo the intersection of Japan and 12 running water of county detect into the radioactive material too. According to the explanation of Japanese Government, the intensity to the food pollution of this nuclear accident is not big, will not influence people's health. Because detected the radioactive material largest vegetables if eat 100 grams 10 days every day continuously, the radiation quantity received is equivalent to that a person will receive half of radiation quantity in the natural situation next year. However, this time the negative effect of nuclear radiation that Japan's nuclear accident leaves over needs observing, making investigations for a long time, could find out the long-term influence on the mankind, living beings and environment of nuclear radiation, and need to hold the prudent method at the present stage. In view of the public's health problem in the future, American food medicine administration bureau (FDA) Announce on March 22, it is imported to suspend from this day and come from the agricultural products made in nearby of letting out area of core of Fukushima of Japan. Even if Japan claims the nuclear radiation quantity of their products is not big, unharmful to health, is not produced in Fukushima and products near Fukushima in other words, China needs to measure nuclear radiation to the products of Japan, confirm not having radioactive pollution, allow to enter the Chinese market. On the other hand, the nuclear radiation of products such as the food,etc. is controlled and still need to expand to the intravital living beings, such as fish and alga in the sea. Though Shanghai has held " The nuclear leakage of Fukushima influences the aquatic products in Shanghai safely " Thematic for forum,and point out researchers marine,Fukushima fish polluting at water body in nuclear radiation states of the Huanghai Sea easts of our country will present nearbies back to swimming over to, however, need to go on to controlling by the fish that nuclear radiation influence for a long time. This kind of method is undoubtedly to set up a fire wall to public health. This kind of method is what World Health Organization advocates too. Hartel, spokesman of WHO, said a few days ago, Japanese Government must make the decision as soon as possible, blockading them thinks the area that may be influenced, totally forbid people to eat the food of these areas at the same time. Eat some food any more repeatedly, may improve the damaged risk of the health. Endangered and depends on the kind of the food, nuclear radiation amount included of soil, food of the planting food to health by the food of nuclear pollution, and the quantity eaten, but if delay taking action, let consumers eat any more and receive the food of nuclear radiation, may constitute serious threat to health, moreover, the influence that children receive is especially great. In this respect, cut the promise Pele's lesson is worth drawing. After the cutting Pele's nuclear disaster of the promise of 1986 takes place, the Russian government at that time did not prevent the children of the surrounding area from drinking the milk, the result leads to the fact a large number of cases of thyroid gland cancer appeared later in the locality. In terms of danger of nuclear radiation healthy to people, food, water and milk of the air and ingestion pollution which suck pollution are the most important radiating the route. Because is to breathe and take food that the �� particle of radiation enters the internal main route in leading to the fact. So, the prevention against food, drinking water should be a focal point. On the other hand, the influence of radiation still depends on the half-life of the nuclear material, it is that the long-term radiation of the nuclear material influences too after all. Though according to Japanese Government, the nuclear radiation that is monitored now is not big in pollution, however, the long-term influence of low dose of nuclear radiation injure and ignore people's health either. Moreover, nuclear radiation is studied now and does not deepen about people's healthy influence, some results can only depend on inferring at present, so need to be set about keeping a lookout from harm the most. Even a shorter nuclear material in half-life, such as iodine - 131, do not mean either it is not dangerous to the person's health, can only have been already reduced by half people and biological danger after thinking they have reached half-life briefly, but endanger existing to people's radiation really. So, need long-term control to Japan's nuclear radiation accident, and do well and reply and prepare for serious injury even more.
