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.
杭州湖州开出“阳康”门诊****** 本报讯 （记者 张梦月 周逸 徐坊 通讯员 章舒莎 张弛 戈杰） “咳咳咳。”新冠病毒感染恢复后，你是不是有咳嗽、浑身酸痛、乏力等症状？去医院急诊，人满为患；去呼吸内科门诊挂号，又一号难求。 “阳康”后的不适该怎么办？日前，杭州、湖州的不少医院开出了专门面向“阳康”的门诊，针对患者在康复中出现的各种不适症状提供专业指导和诊疗。这些新开设的门诊运转情况怎么样？记者来到现场探访。 “咳痰有没有好一点？”“胸闷气急有吗？”“走走楼梯会气喘吗？”上午10时，富阳区第一人民医院门诊2楼，4间呼吸综合门诊诊室人头攒动。虽然才开诊两小时，看诊叫号已到了60余号，等候人群中不时传来咳嗽声。 富阳区第一人民医院党委书记何正飞介绍，最近院内新冠病毒感染患者数量增幅明显，“我们观察下来，很多病人是感染后出现了咳嗽、咳痰、心慌、气促、乏力，是‘阳康’后特有的一些症状，为了让患者就诊更加便捷，有序调节好医疗资源，医院开设呼吸综合门诊。” 门诊1月3日开诊后，在限号情况下，一天接待200余个病人，来就诊的病患大多是“阳康”。记者在现场遇到了前来就诊的市民傅先生。去年12月下旬感染新冠病毒后，他一直被咳嗽困扰。“上次来呼吸内科排队等了3个多小时，这次听说开了新门诊，赶紧来复诊。”傅先生说，呼吸综合门诊很适合他这样的“阳康”患者，现场挂号只等了半个小时不到，医生问诊也比较详细。 “阳康”之后，咳嗽或许是大家反映最多的问题。记者从杭州市红十字会医院获悉，不久前，医院整合院内资源，由呼吸科、胸外科、职业病科共同组成大呼吸专病门诊就诊区，同时开出了“咳嗽专病门诊”，一周7天全开放。 “咳嗽专病门诊每天限号100人，基本上都会看满。”杭州市红十字会医院胸外科主任叶波说，来就诊的基本都是“阳康”，存在痰黏、夜晚咳急、痰中带血丝、咳嗽长时间不好转等症状。目前，咳嗽专病门诊有8位医生轮值。 记者注意到，除了上述两家医院外，在杭多家医院针对营养、中医调理、呼吸等市民较为集中的就医需求开设了“阳康”门诊。 而在湖州，湖州市中心医院也于近日推出“阳康”门诊，以中医诊疗为主，康复、心理咨询、营养等科室医生共同坐诊，主要服务感染新冠病毒后处于恢复期的患者。 “我先到了1楼的呼吸综合门诊，已经有不少人在排队了。正好在微信朋友圈看到‘阳康’门诊开诊了，就来挂了个号。”26岁的小徐虽然已经“阳康”快10天了，但还是感觉乏力，还时不时咳嗽。接诊的医生仔细询问了病情、把了脉，最后为小徐对症开了几方中药。“本来不知道去挂哪个科，没想到有了这个‘阳康’门诊，治疗很对症，就诊也方便，挺好挺好。”小徐说。 “一早就已经接诊了20多位‘阳康’患者，超过八成患者表示，‘阳过’后经常会咳嗽，还会出现胸闷、乏力、心烦、失眠等症状。”当天坐诊“阳康”门诊的湖州市中心医院中医科医生韩晋涛告诉记者，中医诊疗在病后防复、防变的功效比较明显。 “‘阳康’门诊分流了呼吸综合门诊的轻症患者，减轻呼吸综合门诊的压力。”湖州市中心医院相关负责人介绍，“同时，我们通过互联网+医保平台线上线下同步开启，在医院内部构建了急诊（发热门诊）—呼吸综合门诊—‘阳康’门诊—互联网门诊四级分层联动的诊疗模式，让患者得到更为精准的诊疗服务。” 另外，记者从湖州市中医院了解到，为帮助市民尽快康复，该院治未病中心充分发挥中医中药特色优势，推出治未病新冠康复门诊。针对“阳康”后咳嗽、乏力、盗汗、失眠、味觉嗅觉消失等症状，通过辨证施药，帮助市民恢复健康。 盈彩网投资平台地图 |
