Detection of Radiation in Breast Milk Looking at Japanese food contamination
Japanese group claims to detect trace amounts of radiation from breast milk for the first time
A Japanese private group announced on the 20th that it had detected trace amounts of radioactive material from the milk of several women for the first time. On the same day, Tokyo Electric Power Company is still transferring wastewater to a centralized waste treatment facility.
Japan’s nongovernmental organization “Breastmilk Survey and Mother and Child Support Network†announced on the 20th that trace amounts of radioactive substances were detected from the milk of several women for the first time. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare responded to this by saying that although there is no safety standard for radioactive substances for breast milk, the detected value is generally lower than the standards for radioactive substances in infants and young children set for tap water.
The “Breast Milk Survey and Mother and Child Support Network†stated that breastfeeding was provided by nine women in Chiba Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, Fukushima Prefecture, and Ibaraki Prefecture, and then sent to a private radiation inspection company for analysis. As a result, 36.3 becquerels of radioactive iodine per kilogram were detected in the milk of a woman in Chiba Prefecture. A 31.8 becquerels of radioactive iodine per kilogram was detected in the milk of a woman in Moriya City, Ibaraki Prefecture. In the milk of two women in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, radioactive iodine was detected in kilograms of 8.7 and 6.4 becquerels, respectively. Murakami Kikuchi, representative of the Breastfeeding and Mother and Child Support Network, said: "Although we can't judge the safety yet, because the mother's milk is to be fed to infants and young children, the government should implement an extensive investigation as soon as possible."
In this case, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare officials told the media on that day that the Japan Atomic Energy Safety Commission did not establish safety standards for radioactive substances in breast milk. However, the value detected this time is lower than the standard for radioactive material intake of infants and young children set for tap water (100 becquerels per kilogram). Yuri Yozaro, professor of emeritus at Ritsumeikan University in Japan, pointed out: “Based on the results of this inspection, even if infants and young children continue to drink breastmilk, they will have no impact on health and no need to worry too much. However, because breast milk should not contain radioactive substances, The government should investigate as soon as possible.On March 15th, Unit 2 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant leaked a lot of radioactive iodine when it exploded. It is possible that some of them had entered the human body and were detected.
Since the nuclear radiation incident in Japan, people are now no longer talking about nuclear discoloration, but rather talking about vegetable discoloration and talking about food discoloration. Many foods are polluted by nuclear radiation. Everyone is caught in a kind of inexplicable panic. It also raises people’s concern about nuclear radiation and makes more people start to care about radiation. Let’s take a look at Japan’s nuclear program. What are the specifics of radiation that affect food and food?
