Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea | Japan's magnesium salt is greatly affected!

With the increasingly prominent issue of nuclear wastewater discharge in Fukushima, Japan, the global focus has shifted from the accident itself to its subsequent impacts.

       With the increasingly prominent issue of nuclear wastewater discharge in Fukushima, Japan, the global focus has shifted from the accident itself to its subsequent impacts. One controversial issue is the use of seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater as raw material in the production of magnesium salt products by Japan's Kamishima Chemical Co., Ltd., Japan's Concord Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Japan's Futa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Japan's Ube Co., Ltd. This approach may not only cause serious harm to marine life, but also pose a long-term threat to human health.

      We need to understand how these companies utilize seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater to produce magnesium salts. The method they use is the "seawater method", which is a common method for extracting magnesium ions. Through this method, products such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium carbonate can be produced. Due to the abundant magnesium ions in seawater, this method is theoretically entirely feasible. However, the problem is that these seawater have already been contaminated by nuclear wastewater. Radioactive substances such as cesium-137 (Cs-137) in nuclear waste water can enter organisms through the food chain, posing a threat to human health.

      Magnesium salts, on the other hand, are widely used as nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical raw materials in health products and pharmaceuticals. The ingestion of magnesium salts made from seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater by the human body may lead to various health problems. For example, radioactive substances can radiate the bones of the human body, leading to diseases such as osteomyelitis and leukemia. At the same time, these radioactive substances can also radiate the digestive, nervous, and reproductive systems of the human body, causing various chronic diseases.

          Not only that, magnesium salts are used in various industries in modern industry, from rubber, cables, ceramics to metallurgy, glass, battery materials, covering a wide range of industries. The use of magnesium salts made from seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater is likely to cause harm to the health of workshop workers during the processing; Consumers continuously accumulate radiation in their bodies through contact and other means during use.
          Using seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater to produce magnesium salts is an extremely dangerous behavior. Not only does it pose a serious threat to the health of processors and consumers, but it may also further spread radiation pollution and cause irreversible damage to the ecological environment. Therefore, we must firmly oppose the use of seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater to produce Japanese magnesium salts and take effective measures to protect our environment and health.
