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.
床垫真的越贵越好吗?****** 最近引发众多网友关注的,除了世界杯,大概就是床垫了吧!价值百万的天价床垫有啥特殊功能?床垫真的是越贵越好吗?有必要买这么贵的床垫吗? 床垫对睡眠有没有影响? 答案是有的!床垫对睡眠有影响! 1986年美国的一项睡眠质量调查研究表明,7%的睡眠障碍问题与床垫的使用有关。其中,不理想的床垫支撑条件,尤其是脊柱支撑不足是导致低背部疼痛的重要原因。2002年发表于美国《按摩与生理学疗法杂志》的一篇文献研究发现,中等硬度的床垫,能够改善肩背痛,背部僵硬,而且还提高了 60% 的睡眠质量。 床垫对于睡眠质量的提高至关重要。太软的床垫会使人体的睡姿下坠,脊椎弯曲而得不到放松;太硬的床垫则对人体较重的部位造成压迫,导致睡眠时翻身次数增加,不能得到充分的休息。此外,太硬的床垫缺乏适当的弹性,不能配合脊椎的正常曲线,长期使用会影响人体正确的姿势,妨碍脊椎的健康。 图片 床垫越贵越好吗? 睡眠是人生大事,我们人一生之中有三分之一的时间是在床上度过的,所以大家对于床垫的舒适度、功能性的要求也是越来越高,现在市面上甚至有数十万元一张的床垫,还有些床垫号称具有红外线科技,对健康有益。 图源:摄图网 但床垫并非越贵越好! 广州医科大学附属第五医院脊柱外科吕浩然教授表示, 现在没有任何数据(无论是国内还是国外)表明床垫越贵,对睡眠越有帮助;同时,号称有负离子、红外线功能的床垫大都是厂家的噱头,为了实现商业溢价。床垫工艺属于一种低端制造,成本不会很高,技术也没有太大的差异,通常一两千块钱的床垫完全可以满足日常使用要求。 图片 具备什么样的条件才是好床垫? 首先,看睡在床垫上的时候翻身是否自由。正常来讲,我们晚上睡觉是每2至3小时翻一次身。如果翻身或者躺着睡觉的时候,感觉床垫睡得让自己有点痛或不舒服就代表床垫不合适自己。 第二,要看下床的时候是否很轻松。如果老年人与孕妇的床很软,下床就会比较困难,甚至容易摔倒。 最后也是最重要的,就是睡醒后的精神状态。如果睡醒精神不振甚至腰酸背痛,那么床垫可能就不适合自己;醒来后感觉满血复活、精神饱满,那么床垫就与自己的契合度比较高。 选床垫首先要看承托力、耐用性和舒适度三个关键因素。 承托力。好床垫的关键是正确承托。正确承托是指床垫能够顺应人体身形曲线,根据不同部位在水平状态下的重力情况,提供不同的承托力,达到均衡承托的效果。一张好床垫,在结构上应依人体各部位重量分布及脊椎正常曲线来设计,人体头部占总体重的8%,胸部占33%,腰部占44%。 耐用性。这主要取决于床垫表层选用的材质、床垫内部和四边及底座的保护结构。现在市面上很多床垫都宣称有10年、30年甚至50年的质量保证。实际上,从床垫的牢固度和磨损程度来看,10~15年的使用寿命已经近乎极限。 舒适度。床垫过硬过软都不好,过硬会使部分身体悬空,肌肉紧张,容易导致肌肉损伤;过软使得身体下线,脊椎处于非正常状态,容易引发脊椎变形。 正确的方法是平躺在床垫上,手向颈部、腰部和臀下到大腿之间这三处明显弯曲的地方往里平伸,看有没有空隙;再向一侧翻个身,用同样的方法试试有无空隙。若手掌紧贴缝隙,证明床垫与颈、背、腰、臀和腿的自然曲线贴切吻合。这样睡起来比较舒适。 选床垫除了承托力、耐用性和舒适度三个因素之外,还需要考虑自身年龄和睡姿情况等。 根据年龄选床垫。老年人肌肉和韧带弹性有所下降,可选购硬度稍高的床垫,太软的床支撑不了脊柱,且难起身。婴幼儿的床垫建议选择牢固而富有弹性的中软度床垫。同时保证表面软硬均匀、无刺痒感,拉链位于床垫侧面,并关注其安全性能,避免啃咬。 根据睡姿选床垫。经常侧卧的人,建议选分区床垫。这种床垫根据头、颈、肩、腰、椎尾等不同受力区域,形成不同的下陷程度。经常仰卧、俯卧睡觉的人,应选择稍硬些的床垫。因为仰卧、俯卧时,颈部和腰部需要坚硬床垫支持,才能达到舒适的状态。 最后的最后,床垫使用小tips: 1.新床垫要拆掉保护膜才可使用。 2.别在床垫上蹦跳。 3.定期(建议半年)将床垫前后调换。 4.不要把床单绷得过紧,以免将床垫的通气孔堵死,造成床垫内空气无法流通,滋生病菌。 END 来源:科普中国、生命时报、江苏疾控、深圳五洲中医院 整理:刘雪洁 中国网客户端 国家重点新闻网站,9语种权威发布 |
